Overnight postpartum care is ¥5,000 per day, with 5 coupons of ¥2,500

Mothers and babies within 1 year after birth can receive care from midwives and others by staying at, making day visits to, or having home visits from medical institutions and midwifery homes. People who had a miscarriage or stillbirth can also use it. The fee is ¥5,000 per day for the overnight type (¥10,000 for 1 night/2 days), ¥4,000 per day for the day type, and ¥3,000 per visit for the home-visit type. For multiple births, the overnight type is ¥6,000 per day, etc., and fees are reduced for households exempt from resident tax and households on public assistance. Each mother can use 5 Postpartum Care Support Coupons of ¥2,500 each, so a 1-night/2-day overnight stay becomes ¥5,000. Use is up to 7 times for the three types combined (1 day of the overnight type counts as 1 time; up to 14 times for multiple births, of which up to 10 home visits). Apply for registration with the Health Division from week 22 of pregnancy. From October 2026, the vouchers switched to electronic coupons (mila-e coupons).
