From FY2026 (April 2026–March 2027), when a household raising children moves near parents living in the city or starts living with them, the initial costs are subsidized. Covered costs are key money, premium (kenrikin), agency fees, and actual moving costs for private rentals; and agency fees, loan administration fees, registration costs, and actual moving costs for home purchases. Deposits such as security deposits are not covered. The combined total is paid up to ¥200,000 (amounts under ¥100 rounded down). Conditions are that you support children aged 18 or under (within the fiscal year) (pregnancy within 3 months of the due date also qualifies), intend to live in the city for at least 3 years after the move, and the parents' household has lived in the city for at least 1 year. If you are moving in from outside the city, you must also not have lived in the city for the past 6 months. You must apply for planned registration before signing a contract, so contact the city before choosing a property. This program also ends when the budget limit is reached. The city's page shows the planned grant amount as a percentage of the budget.

How much of the moving costs is covered?

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

Households supporting children aged 18 or under (within the fiscal year) that start living near or with parents in the city

Notes

Planned registration before signing the contract is required. Because the program ends when the budget is reached, the usage rate changes.
