- Pay the full amount first, then apply
Because women with multiple pregnancies are advised to have more checkups than with a single pregnancy, the city subsidizes the cost of the 15th to 19th checkups beyond the 14 vouchers. Up to ¥5,000 per visit (if the amount paid is less, that amount), up to 5 times per pregnancy. There are no vouchers from the 15th checkup on, so this is a reimbursement: you pay the full amount first and then 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.

Notes
Insured care is not covered. To apply, you need something showing that you have had 14 prenatal checkups subsidized, and other documents.
