When a child enters elementary or junior high school, the town pays a celebration gift. The amount is ¥30,000 for entering elementary school and ¥50,000 for entering junior high school. It is limited to those with resident registration on April 1 of the relevant fiscal year, and the town sends a notice to eligible families.
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
Parents of a child entering elementary or junior high school who have resident registration in the town on April 1 of the relevant fiscal year
