Mizuho Town Child-Rearing Support Vouchers
Vouchers are for temporary childcare, postpartum care, and similar (valid for 2 years)
When a woman who had the Yurikago interview during pregnancy gives birth, she receives a childcare package at the home visit by a public health nurse or midwife. It contains ¥7,000 in children's gift certificates usable at member stores nationwide, and ¥3,000 in Mizuho Town Child-Rearing Support Vouchers usable for fees for temporary childcare, postpartum care, and similar in and near the town. The vouchers can only be used for the child named on them, and cannot be used by households on public assistance or households exempt from resident tax, which receive fee reductions. The vouchers are valid for 2 years from the date given, and can no longer be used if you move out of the town.
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
Women who had the Yurikago interview during pregnancy and gave birth
Notes
The amounts can be checked in the "Guide to Using Child-Rearing Support Vouchers (from October 2024)": https://www.town.mizuho.tokyo.jp/kosodate/002/p006730_d/fil/tebikiR6.pdf
Households on public assistance and households exempt from resident tax receive reductions on temporary childcare, so they cannot use the vouchers for temporary childcare.
