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 living with the child and registered as residents of Hino City, whose child aged 3 to 5 attends a private kindergarten or similar and who pay the enrollment fee and childcare fees (for private kindergartens, the child must have certification for facility usage benefits)

Extended-care fees, meals, bus fares, etc. are not covered.From October 2026, the national facility usage subsidy limit rose from ¥25,700/month to ¥28,000/month, and for extended care from ¥11,300/month to ¥12,300/month.
