Even with insured IVF and ICSI, an out-of-pocket cost remains. Shinagawa City subsidizes that insured out-of-pocket cost up to ¥50,000 per treatment cycle. It covers treatment received on or after April 1, 2024, including the insured portion of male infertility treatment. Common-law couples are also covered. The limit on the number of times is 6 in total per child if the wife was under 40 when the first treatment started, and 3 in total if she was 40 or older and under 43. The conditions are that you are a couple from the day treatment started to the application date, and that at least one of you has been continuously registered as a resident of Shinagawa City during that time. The application deadline is within 1 year of the day the treatment ended.

For treatment started on or after April 1, 2026, the city states that the contents of the city subsidy may change as the Tokyo subsidy changes. Claims cannot be made with the current application form and certificate.

Based on the number of cycles, what is the maximum?

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.
