3 types (home visit, overnight, day service); out-of-pocket cost from ¥2,000 per time
- Fully exempt for tax-exempt households and households on public assistance
To support your physical condition and childcare worries after birth, you can receive care from midwives, etc. in 3 types. The out-of-pocket cost is ¥2,000 per time for the home visit type, up to 3 times within 1 year after birth; ¥7,000 for 2 days/1 night for the overnight type, up to 5 days per birth (¥3,500 added for each additional day); and ¥3,000 per time for the day service type, up to 2 times. The overnight and day service types are for under 4 months after birth (the eligible age of the baby varies by facility). You can apply for the overnight and day service types from 28 weeks (8 months) of pregnancy, and you pay your own round-trip transportation to the facility. The portion for additional babies in multiple births is free, and households exempt from resident tax and households on public assistance are fully exempt.
