Up to ¥50,000 toward general fertility treatment costs for couples with the wife aged 40 to under 43 (once only)

The city subsidizes up to ¥50,000 of the couple's combined out-of-pocket cost for general fertility treatment before IVF, such as timing therapy and artificial insemination. It covers couples in which the wife is 40 or older and under 43 on the start date of testing or treatment, and both partners must have received testing or treatment. If the wife is under 40, this city subsidy is not available; the Tokyo Fertility Testing Subsidy is the place to apply. The subsidy is only once per couple. The application deadline is within 1 year counting from the start date of testing or treatment (postmark counts). If treatment lasts more than 1 year, apply within 3 months of the day 1 year has passed. Another condition is that the couple's marriage (including common-law marriage) and at least one partner's resident registration in Shibuya City continue from the start date to the application date. If you go on to IVF or ICSI, the separate subsidy for assisted reproductive technology applies, but its age requirement is different (wife under 43), so check which applies based on your age at the start of treatment.
