- Families with complete packed lunches get a subsidy up to the school lunch fee
School lunch has been free at Adachi City-run junior high schools since April 2023 and at city-run elementary schools since October 2023. Families who cannot receive school lunch for reasons such as severe food allergies or religion and send a "complete packed lunch" every day receive a subsidy up to the school lunch fee. The amount is determined by the number of school lunches served at the school and the number of times the child went to school with a packed lunch.
Nationality and residence status
The official page (checked in October 2026) sets no condition on nationality or residence status that we found. Eligibility follows the official conditions, not the language of this page; many programs require resident registration in the municipality.
