This program lets children who do not attend daycare, kindergarten, etc. attend regularly, regardless of whether the parents work. On top of the national 10 hours a month, the city adds its own 150 hours a month using a Tokyo subsidy, for a maximum of 160 hours a month (150 hours a month from the day before the 3rd birthday). Eligibility is also extended to the age-2 class (until the end of the fiscal year in which the child turns 3). The fee is free under Tokyo's program. Actual costs such as diapers may apply.
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.
