A program in which midwives support your physical recovery after birth and childcare consultation. There are 3 types: short stays at a medical institution or midwifery home, day care, and outreach in which a midwife comes to your home. The number of uses for the 3 types combined is up to 15 for a single baby and up to 26 for multiples. The short stay is up to 7 times, and 1 night/2 days counts as 2. From April 1, 2026, the number for multiples increased from 21 to 26.

The out-of-pocket cost is ¥3,000 per use for the short stay (¥6,000 for 1 night/2 days), ¥1,000 per use for day care, and ¥2,000 per use for outreach. Households receiving public assistance and exempt from resident tax pay nothing. To use it, you must have had the "Kangaroo interview" at the Sukoyaka Welfare Center and made a "Kangaroo plan."

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.
