2 postpartum checkups (up to ¥5,000 each) and the 1-month checkup (up to ¥6,000) subsidized with vouchers (for checkups from October 2026)
The city subsidizes part of the cost of health checkups for mothers and babies soon after the birth. Checkups received on or after October 1, 2026 are covered; checkups on or before September 30 are not. Postpartum health checkups are up to 2 (vouchers valid within 2 months after the birth; guideline around 2 weeks and around 1 month after the birth), up to ¥5,000 each. The 1-month infant health checkup is once between 28 and 41 days after birth, up to ¥6,000. Amounts above the limit and tests not included in the checkup are paid by you. For people who submitted a pregnancy notification on or after April 1, 2026, the vouchers are in the "Mother and Child Health Bag" given at the time of notification. Among people who submitted notifications before that, those with a due date on or after September 15, 2026 were sent them on August 27. People with a due date on or before September 14, and people who paid themselves for checkups at medical institutions outside Tokyo, for example when returning to their hometown, can receive a refund later.
