The city pays with public funds for the purchase of standard uniforms at Shinagawa City-run junior high schools and compulsory education schools. Eligible households receive a digital coupon, which they use at each school's designated stores. What becomes free are the jacket (blazer, jacket) and the summer and winter bottoms (slacks, skirt). Other items such as dress shirts are paid by you. In FY2025, it covered new 7th graders (1st-year junior high school students) at city-run junior high schools and new 5th graders at compulsory education schools that switch to standard uniforms in 5th grade, and coupons were mailed in December. The city will announce the FY2026 details once decided.

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.
