Home-visit type ¥1,000 per visit (up to 3) and 3 other types - day, overnight and group day visit

In this program, Meguro City offers postpartum care by midwives and others at low cost for the physical and mental care of mothers and babies after birth and for childcare support. There are 4 types: home visit, day, overnight and group day visit; households exempt from resident tax and households receiving public assistance are exempt from fees for all types. The home-visit type is for under 1 year after the birth, ¥1,000 per visit, up to 3 visits. A midwife visits your home to give guidance on breastfeeding and bathing and to check the mother's physical condition. Up to 3 visits can be used whether or not you have multiples. It is available on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and it takes about 2 weeks from application to use. The day type is ¥2,500 per visit, up to 2 visits. It is offered at 2 facilities: Kosei Chuo General Hospital (under 3 months after the birth) and Japanese Red Cross Medical Center (under 4 months after the birth). The overnight type is for under 5 months after the birth and can be split for up to 6 nights/7 days. The fee is ¥3,500 to ¥7,500 for 1 night/2 days depending on the facility. Taxable households receive a ¥2,500 reduction per night for up to 5 nights; the 6th night and later are not reduced. The group day-visit type is for under 6 months after the birth, costs ¥500 and can be used only once. It is held at the Meguro City Children and Family Center once a month on a Thursday in FY2026 (some months have only an afternoon session, others both morning and afternoon sessions).
