Waived for resident households on public assistance and tax-exempt households
When you cannot look after your sick child at home because of work or similar, nurses and childcare workers care for the child at a dedicated facility. For people living or working in Hamura City, the fee is ¥1,000 per day (¥500 on Saturdays); it is waived for resident households on public assistance and households exempt from municipal resident tax and income tax. After the child sees a doctor, apply to the facility by phone by the day before use. Meals are not provided, so bring a packed lunch.
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
Children from 6 months old to grade 6 of elementary school whose parents cannot care for them because of work or similar, who need rest because of illness, and who have seen a doctor
Notes
The facility is the sick-child care facility "Aoringo" (attached to Baba Kodomo Clinic, Gonokami, Hamura City). Capacity is 4 children per day. Closed on Thursdays, Sundays, and holidays.
