A friend looked up on Japanese part of the web site for Nihon Idai for me regarding "tsukisoi":

"The website is http://www.nms.ac.jp/
In this website, it say basically tsukisoi is not allowed."

She also added more info about a couple of other hospitals:

"In Otsuka hospital you can tsukisoi but the nurse want you to go back home. The nurse will care every thing. In ICU you can't stay with your child.

In Keio, if you want to tsukisoi you have to enter in a single room. But it is very expensive. (15000yen per day)"

This is confusing because her approach is that perhaps mothers are demanding to be with their children 24/7. I started asking questions because of a report from another mother that after her daughter was in the hospital for a month she and her husband were completely exhausted. The problem there was not the unwillingness of the parents so much as the conditions for the caretaker person (no bed, no meals, limited showers, etc.).
