This program sends families raising multiple-birth children under 3 "children's gift certificates" worth ¥24,000 per household per year, which can be used for taxi rides. The aim is to reduce the burden of going out with babies for checkups and vaccinations. Eligible people are parents who are city residents raising multiple-birth children under 3 in the same household. You can apply once each when the children are 0, 1, and 2 years old, so if you start at age 0, the total is ¥72,000 worth. Families with multiple births also get extras in other programs. In the Postpartum Care Program, fees for the second and later babies are waived; in the Prenatal and Postpartum Support Program (Postpartum Doula), the hour limit is expanded from 30 to 60 hours; and the free hours of the Childcare Support Helper are 10 hours per child, so 20 hours for twins. An extra set of Sukusuku Cards is also given for each child who has not received one (application required).

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.

Notes

The 6 nights/7 days overnight limit in the Postpartum Care Program is not a slot specific to multiple births but the general limit (6 nights/7 days, up to 7 days in total) that also applies to others.
