¥24,000 a year × 3 years = up to ¥72,000 for multiples under 3

For Setagaya City families raising twins, triplets or other multiples, the city subsidizes taxi fares for checkups, vaccinations and similar. Up to ¥24,000 a year at each age of 0, 1 and 2, up to ¥72,000 in total. It is practical support based on the fact that hospital visits and travel with multiples are physically demanding and using public transport with 2 or more strollers is difficult. Receipts must be submitted to apply, so be sure to keep them. You must apply for eligibility certification for each age group (online procedures available), and the condition is that you have had an interview or consultation with a city public health nurse or similar during that age group. The baby home visit, the 3–4-month health checkup and individual consultations at the general branch office Health Promotion Section count, but those received in your hometown or at the municipality before moving in do not.
