“…This may indicate that the impact of each feature on the mobile population decreased because of the sense of crisis caused by the pandemic or the self-restraint with regard to telecommuting and long-distance travel owing www.nature.com/scientificreports/ to the declaration of a state of emergency. This result is consistent with the results of a study based on a webbased questionnaire survey 15 . One notable change during this period is that of "restaurant" in the late-night hours.…”

“…Figure 1 depicts the number of COVID-19 cases in Japan and the period during which a state of emergency was declared as the period analyzed by this study 7 . Despite the request for voluntary travel restraint without legally binding force, existing studies have shown that the mobility behaviors of people in Japan have changed significantly compared to the pre-COVID-19 period [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] . It is important to understand how the voluntary lockdown has changed travel behaviors to determine urban development and transportation policies during and after COVID- 19.…”

“…Several studies in recent years have examined mobility changes in Japan using location data collected from mobile phones 9,10,14,[18][19][20][21][22] . Studies of mobility change based on web-based questionnaires can reveal detailed changes in mobility characteristics over a specific period 8,15,23 while studies using mobile phone data can reveal sequential mobility changes. Although there are multiple sources of mobile data used to study mobility change 9,18,21,24,25 , mobile spatial statistics (MSS) data 26 are commonly used in Japan 10,14,19,20,22 .…”

We analyzed time-series changes in people’s purpose-specific mobility characteristics owing to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Tokyo area of Japan, where only legally non-binding requests for self-restraint were enforced. A multiple regression analysis was conducted with the objective variable being the mobile population in the Tokyo area per 500 m square grid estimated from mobile spatial statistical data for 2 years from 10/01/2019 to 9/30/2021. This study period ranges from pre- to mid-pandemic. The explanatory variable was the number of buildings by type per 500 m square grid obtained from building statistical data to determine behavioral changes by mobility purpose. The analysis revealed that self-restraint was sustained until the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Tokyo area regardless of the purpose of mobility and whether a state of emergency was declared.

“…As described in Section Introduction, Japan is a unique country that confronts the pandemic without measures with legal binding force, and administrative organs stayed with “recommendation” and avoided orders in most cases. It is reported that most Japanese people think “everyone should be responsible for their health” ( 109 , 110 ) and should refrain from outside recreation during the pandemic ( 111 ). They wear masks ( 112 ) and wash their hands ( 113 ) voluntarily because they value peer pressure and are afraid of being left out of the community.…”

It is everyone's desire to seek the sound growth of children through food education and there is a critical need for fostering an environment for this purpose. Health policies are important for this support. To the present, the Japanese society has been greatly disrupted by COVID-19 pandemic. “Stay at home”, “mokusyoku (silent eating)”, and mask wearing were encouraged in nationwide campaigns as public health measures to combat COVID-19. There are some papers reporting negative effects of “stay at home” and lockdowns such as weight gain, decrease in physical activities and change in eating habits. In Japan, while benefits and advantages of food education during mealtime were previously well studied, the “mokusyoku” rule may directly run counter to this food education. Moreover, there are several reports showing that nutrients might contribute to prevention of infectious diseases. Japanese children were also encouraged to wear masks all day long. The results of the clinical research, especially randomized control trials, show limited protective effect of masks. On the other hand, negative outcomes of the masks were reported in various scenes. This review focuses on these topics and arousing reconsideration for a better environment for children.
