It covers the first visit at a medical institution in Japan on or after October 1, 2023; second and later visits and visits abroad are not covered. Apply by the day before 3 months have passed since the obstetric visit; after that you cannot apply.

How much of the first visit's cost?
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.
Who is eligible
People registered as residents of Fuchu City on the visit date and the application date, who on the application date belong to a household exempt from resident tax (or with a similar income level) or a household receiving public assistance, and who made their first obstetric visit at a medical institution in Japan on or after October 1, 2023, after confirming a positive result with a store-bought pregnancy test (and who agree to a check of the household's tax status)
Notes
The application requires the application form and the receipt. People who were not registered as residents of Fuchu City on January 1 need a tax exemption certificate.
