This is Chiyoda City's own allowance: the city pays ¥15,000 a month (¥180,000 a year) per child to parents living in Chiyoda City who are raising a child from the first April 1 after turning 12 to the first March 31 after turning 18 (= junior high and high school age).

This program was newly created in FY2025 (April 2025–March 2026), and payments started from the April 2025 payment. It is Chiyoda City's own allowance, separate from the national Child Allowance.

It is paid 3 times a year, on the 25th of February, June and October, each time for the months up to the previous month. It is paid from the month after the month you apply, so if you apply late you cannot receive that part. When you move in, if you apply within 15 days of the day after your planned move-out date, you can receive it from the month after the planned move-out date. You can apply at the Child-Rearing Promotion Section on the 2nd floor of the city office, at the city's branch offices, by mail, or through the city's portal site.

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.
