When a couple living in Shibuya City receives IVF or ICSI under health insurance together with advanced medical care, the city subsidizes the out-of-pocket cost and the cost of advanced medical care combined, up to ¥100,000 per treatment cycle. Male infertility treatment, such as surgery to retrieve sperm, is subsidized separately up to ¥100,000. The conditions are that the wife is under 43 on the day treatment started, and that at least one of the couple is registered as a resident of Shibuya City on the application date. The number of subsidies is up to 6 in total per child if the wife was under 40 when the 1st treatment started, and up to 3 in total if she was 40 or older and under 43. The application deadline is within 1 year of the day each treatment cycle ended.

The above is for treatment started by March 31, 2026. For treatment started on or after April 1, 2026, the city subsidizes people who still have out-of-pocket costs after receiving the Tokyo fertility treatment cost subsidy. Details of the program will be posted on the city's website in December 2026, and applications are planned to open in January 2027.
