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
Mothers registered as residents of Mizuho Town who wish to use postpartum care (home visits from day 4 after childbirth until the day before the baby turns 1; day care and overnight care until the day before the baby turns 7 months)
Notes
Overnight care can be used for consecutive nights on weekdays only. Providers are Morita Josanin, Fussa Hospital (public), Puramun Josanin, and Ome Municipal General Medical Center.
At some providers you can pay the out-of-pocket cost with the Mizuho Town Child-Rearing Support Vouchers from the childcare package: https://www.town.mizuho.tokyo.jp/kosodate/002/p006730.html
