Up to ¥310,000 per birth (childbirth cost − lump-sum allowance − additional benefits)

When a parent living in Chiyoda City gives birth, the city covers, up to ¥310,000, the part of the childbirth cost that exceeds the "Childbirth and Childcare Lump-sum Allowance (¥500,000)." It covers births on or after April 1, 2025, including miscarriages and stillbirths at 85 days of pregnancy or later.

The requirements are: you had an address in the city before the birth date and have continued to live in the city for 1 year or more as of the application date; you received the Childbirth and Childcare Lump-sum Allowance from a Japanese health insurance plan; and the baby has been registered as a resident at the same address since the birth date. If you had lived in the city for less than 1 year at the time of the birth, you can apply after 1 year has passed. The application deadline is 2 years from the birth date. If you plan to move out of the city, apply before you move out.

The actual subsidy is the amount remaining after subtracting the Childbirth and Childcare Lump-sum Allowance, additional benefits from your health insurance association, the High-Cost Medical Expense Benefit, the Tokyo epidural delivery cost subsidy and similar from the actual childbirth cost (up to ¥310,000). The subsidized amount cannot be included in the medical expense deduction. Check the city's official page for details.
