Notice of Changes to Our Corporate Name,
Brand Name, and Logo
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued understanding and generous support of our mission to help children facing serious illnesses and their families. As Ronald McDonald House celebrated its 50th global anniversary in 2024, and as Japan approaches the 25th anniversary of the opening of the first House in 2026, we are pleased to announce that, effective October 1, 2026, our corporate name, brand name, and logo will be updated in Japan.
New Corporate Name
Ronald McDonald House Japan
(Public Interest Incorporated Foundation)
New Brand Name
Ronald McDonald House
New Logo

The new logo incorporates a heart symbolizing our philosophy of “keeping family at center”, reflecting simple and modern design.
While our name and logo will change, our mission remains entirely unchanged: to stand alongside children facing serious illness and their families, and to provide them with a home away from home. With deep gratitude to everyone who has supported us thus far, we will continue our efforts to reach and support as many children and families as possible.
To ensure that families can fully focus on their child's care without financial concerns, we eliminated accommodation fees across all Houses effective April 1, 2026 (previously, 1,000 yen per person per day). This change aims not only to reduce financial burdens, but also to ease many of the challenges that come with caring for a hospitalized child.
As a true "home away from home," we have rolled out our "Daily Meal" initiative. In addition to self-catering kitchen facilities, volunteers provide warm, nutritionally balanced home-cooked meals every weekday. We aim to offer one complimentary “Daily Meal” every weekday across all Houses by 2028, further supporting families mentally, physically, and financially.
With gratitude in our hearts to everyone who has supported Ronald McDonald Houses thus far, we will continue to stand by as many children and their families as possible and engage in various activities to help provide the support they need.
We sincerely appreciate your continued understanding and support as we move forward into this new chapter.
Key Message –
Family Stays
Family Stays is the tagline that expresses the heart of our new brand.
When a child becomes seriously ill, no matter how difficult the circumstances,
what matters most is
that family stays together.
We are dedicated to protecting
that precious time.
Being together at the House.
Getting back even a small piece of
normal family life.
This should not be extraordinary.
Yet, for families facing a child's illness, these everyday moments can easily slip away.
That is why, through our Houses, we strive to continue supporting families
and their daily lives.
This is the heart and soul behind
Family Stays.
