Up to ¥88,000 a month for up to 8 years for moving near parents or within the city (child-rearing households)
- Up to 8 years (until the end of the fiscal year the youngest child turns 18)
- A flat ¥100,000 at the first move
Chiyoda City's own long-term rent subsidy. When a child-rearing household moves near parents (moving near parents who have lived in the city for 5 years or more) or moves within the city (a child-rearing household that has lived in the city for 1 year or more moves to another home), the city subsidizes part of the rent every month.
The amount is set by a table based on household size and the number of years elapsed. The 1st year is the highest: ¥88,000 a month for households of 6 or more moving near parents, or 8 or more moving within the city. From the 2nd year it decreases every year (for a ¥88,000 household: ¥80,000 in the 2nd year, ¥72,000 in the 3rd year … ¥32,000 in the 8th year), and continues for up to 8 years or until the end of the fiscal year in which the youngest child turns 18. Separately, a flat ¥100,000 is paid at the first move.
There is a range for the household's total annual income (2-person households ¥1,896,000 to ¥10,388,000, 3-person households up to ¥10,768,000, 4-person households up to ¥11,148,000; for 5 or more, ¥380,000 is added per person), and there are standards for the floor area of the new home (2 people 30 square meters or more, 3 people 40 square meters or more, 4 or more 50 square meters or more). As a rule, a "provisional application" is required before you sign the contract for the new home.
In July 2026 the subsidy amounts were raised, and at the same time the floor area requirement that "the new home must be larger than the previous one" was abolished. Check the city's official page for eligibility requirements and required documents.
