For families who answered the questionnaire at the city's 18-month dental checkup
Families who had the 18-month dental checkup in Arakawa City receive a web catalog gift (cash equivalent) by simplified registered mail about 2 months after the checkup date. The amount rises with birth order: ¥60,000 for the first child, ¥70,000 for the second, and ¥80,000 for the third and later children. Eligible people are those who had the 18-month dental checkup at the Arakawa City Public Health Center on or after April 1, 2023 and answered the questionnaire; the child's birth date is not the criterion.
Simplified registered mail must be received in person, and it will not be resent after the deadline.
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.

Notes
Birth order is determined by where the child having the 18-month checkup ranks among children under 18 who are on the same household's resident record at the checkup date and raised with a shared household budget.There is a special arrangement for families who moved in from another Tokyo municipality when the child was age 1 and have not received it.
