The city subsidizes the cost of 2 postpartum health checkups, around 2 weeks and around 1 month after the birth, and the 1-month infant health checkup that a baby around 1 month old receives at a medical institution. The checkup items written on the voucher are paid by the city; other tests or treatment are paid by you. Both started on October 1, 2026, and the vouchers can be used for checkups on or after October 1. Checkups received on or before September 30 are not covered. Postpartum checkups are up to 2 within 2 months after the birth (guideline: around 2 weeks and around 1 month after the birth), and the 1-month checkup is once between 28 and 41 days after birth. They are received at contracted medical institutions in Tokyo. The vouchers were given at the time of notification to people who submitted a pregnancy notification on or after April 1, 2026, and were sent to the homes of people who submitted notifications before that on September 3, 2026. These checkups confirm the mother's recovery after the birth and the baby's condition soon after leaving the hospital.

Nationality and residence status

The official page (checked in October 2026) sets no condition on nationality or residence status that we found. Eligibility follows the official conditions, not the language of this page; many programs require resident registration in the municipality.

Notes

The vouchers were given at the time of notification to people who submitted a pregnancy notification on or after April 1, 2026, and were sent to the homes of people who submitted notifications before that on September 3, 2026.Costs paid out of pocket because you forgot the voucher are not refunded later. Be sure to bring the voucher.If you paid yourself for a checkup at a medical institution in Japan other than a contracted medical institution in Tokyo, for example when returning to your hometown, you can apply and receive a refund of up to ¥5,000 per visit for up to 2 postpartum checkups, and up to ¥6,000 per visit for the 1-month checkup. Checkups abroad are not covered.If you had a checkup at a contracted medical institution without using the voucher, as a rule no refund is given.Unused postpartum checkup vouchers received at your previous address can be used as they are.
