Entering elementary school
Entering junior high school
Parents of children entering elementary or junior high school (including schools for special needs education and similar) receive a school entrance gift. The amount is ¥30,000 per child for entering elementary school and ¥50,000 per child for entering junior high school, paid every April. You must be registered as a resident of the village on April 1 (those who move in on April 2 or later and register by the day before the entrance ceremony are also eligible).
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
Parents registered as residents of the village on April 1 each year whose child enters an elementary or junior high school or similar in April of that year (excluding those planning to move out of the village who have submitted a request to attend school outside the district)
Notes
The amounts are set by the Hinohara Village School Entrance Gift Ordinance (the amendment effective April 1, 2025 increased the amount for entering junior high school): https://www1.g-reiki.net/hinohara/reiki_honbun/g154RG00000368.html
