ひきこもり支援を目的として掲げる民間事業の利用をめぐる消費者トラブルにご注意ください! | 消費者庁

This page warns consumers about troubles when using private businesses that aim to support hikikomori (social withdrawal). Hikikomori refers to a state where individuals avoid social participation for six months or longer, primarily remaining at home due to various factors. While "Hikikomori Regional Support Centers" are established in prefectures and designated cities, private businesses also provide independent support. When facing troubles such as responses differing from explanations or inability to cancel contracts, consumers are advised to consult the Consumer Hotline (188) or their local consumer life center.
