- A payment for FY2025 only; you cannot apply now
Applications have closed. This was a one-time payment for FY2025 only, and new applications can no longer be made. It was a time-limited measure in which Setagaya City added its own ¥10,000 to the child-rearing support allowance paid as a national measure against rising prices (¥20,000 per child), paying a total of ¥30,000 per eligible child. It covered children born April 2, 2007 – March 31, 2026; households that received the Child Allowance for September 2025 in Setagaya City and similar did not need to apply and were paid into their Child Allowance account or similar.
