Tokyo and the city add to the national benefit for private kindergartens
Tokyo's portion
Koganei City's portion
Together ¥7,000 to ¥11,400/month
Children aged 3 to 5 at private kindergartens not moved to the new system receive, in addition to the national free-of-charge program (¥28,000/month from October 2026), a top-up from Tokyo and the city. The top-up is ¥7,000 to ¥11,400/month, combining Tokyo's ¥1,800 to ¥6,200, which depends on income and the number of siblings, and the city's own ¥5,200. At new-system kindergartens and certified centers (education part), daycare fees are ¥0, and they are also covered by the Tokyo and city top-ups.
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
Children aged 3 to 5 living in Koganei City who have certification for facility usage benefits and attend a private kindergarten or similar
