The city provides a subsidy to reduce the burden of childcare fees and facility maintenance fees for parents of children at private kindergartens (including those outside the city), kindergarten-like early childhood facilities, and certified centers for early childhood education and care (Type 1 certification). At kindergartens that have not moved to the new system, the limit is ¥5,800 to ¥10,200/month, depending on the household's municipal resident tax income-based amount and birth order. Separately, there is the national facility usage subsidy (free-of-charge program), which is ¥25,700/month in the city's FY2026 (April 2026–March 2027) table. Older siblings are counted regardless of age, so even if an older child is in elementary school or above, the child counts as the second or third child.
