Overnight, day and home-visit postpartum care (¥9,000 for 1 night/2 days, etc.)

In 3 forms (overnight short stay, day care and home-visit outreach), mothers and babies after birth can receive care from midwives. Besides support for building a daily rhythm, you can consult about breastfeeding methods and childcare. In addition to the city-run postpartum care center, several hospitals and clinics in the city accept users. It can be used by postpartum mothers and babies who have an address in the city, have worries about physical or mental health or childcare, and cannot get enough support from family or others. Even if you live with family, you meet the requirement if you cannot get support for some reason. The short stay and day care are for under 4 months after the birth, and outreach is for under 1 year after the birth. For taxable households, the out-of-pocket cost is ¥9,000 for 1 night/2 days of short stay, then ¥4,500 for each additional day (up to 6 nights/7 days; it can be split, such as 2 nights/3 days + 3 nights/4 days). Day care is ¥3,000 a day and outreach ¥2,000 per visit, and these 2 can be used for up to 7 days combined. For multiples, there is an addition for the 2nd and later babies, and there is a reduction system for households exempt from resident tax, households taxed only on the per-capita portion, and households receiving public assistance. Since August 2025, usage registration, booking and lottery results are handled entirely through the city's official LINE, so you can apply 24 hours a day. The booking deadline is 9 a.m. on the day before use (excluding days the office is closed). Usage registration is accepted from 28 weeks of pregnancy.
