First child
Second child
Third and later children
Parents of children reaching their first birthday receive electronic gift cards for child-rearing goods. The amount is worth ¥60,000 for the first child, ¥70,000 for the second child and ¥80,000 for the third and later children. It covers children born in or after April 2024 who are registered as residents of Nakano City on the 1st of the month before their birthday. The city mails a notice; after answering a questionnaire, you choose the items you want from a catalog and order them. Families who moved within Tokyo and did not receive it at their previous municipality are also covered. Birth order is determined by which number the child turning 1 is among the children under 18 raised in the same household finances.
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
