All pregnant women registered as residents of Minato City are covered. If you have an interview with a midwife (about 30 minutes), you receive "children's gift certificates" worth ¥10,000, usable for taxi rides and buying childcare goods, as a childcare package.

The interview is recommended from the 5th month of pregnancy, when the pregnancy is stable. You can choose an in-person interview at the Minato Public Health Center (Mita) or an online interview (Microsoft Teams). For online interviews, the flow is: mail a copy of your Maternal and Child Health Handbook and similar in advance → interview via an invitation email → the childcare package is sent by simple registered mail.

Book through the online booking system in the Minato Maternal and Child Health Handbook app. Cancellation slots in the coming week can be checked through a dedicated phone line (03-3455-4464).

At the interview, together with the gift certificates, you can also receive the application form for the national "Support Payment for Pregnant Women" (1st payment). Use after the birth is not covered.

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.
