Under its ordinance, Hinohara Village covers the out-of-pocket share under health insurance for medical costs of children up to the first March 31 after turning 15, and of high school-age children (up to the first March 31 after turning 18). Under the Tokyo program, elementary, junior high, and high school-age children still pay up to ¥200 per outpatient visit, but the village ordinance states that it covers the out-of-pocket share and has no such ¥200 rule. Meal costs during a hospital stay are excluded. You receive a medical certificate (iryōshō) and show it at the medical institution.
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

Notes
Under the village ordinance, when you show the medical certificate at your visit, the village pays the subsidized amount directly to the medical institution.Meal costs during a hospital stay (standard meal charge) are paid at the medical institution's counter.If medical benefits can be received under other laws, that portion is not subsidized.For procedures, contact the Welfare and Health Division, Child-Rearing Support Section (042-598-3122).
