The condition is that the mother is registered as a resident of Shinagawa City; it can be used up to 5 times together with the day type (individual). Uses beyond 5 are self-paid. The city's usage approval is required; apply at the pregnancy interview (1st) or the individual childbirth preparation consultation. People who moved in after the birth or did not apply at the interview apply online at least 2 weeks before the day of use. Book one visit at a time; cancellations after 10 a.m. on the previous day are counted as 1 use.
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.
