Postpartum care: overnight 6 nights/7 days, day care 4 times, outpatient 4 times, home visit 3 times

When you want to rest after birth, or learn how to breastfeed or bathe your baby, you can receive care from midwives, etc. There are the overnight type where you stay, the day care type used only during the day, the home visit type where someone comes to your home, and the outpatient type where you go to a facility for consultation. Per birth, you can use each of the 4 types up to its limit: overnight up to 6 nights/7 days (can be split), day care up to 4 times, outpatient up to 4 times, and home visit up to 3 times. Day care increased from 2 to 4 times from use in April 2026. Your cost after the city's subsidy (for reference) is from ¥9,000 for 2 days/1 night for overnight, from ¥3,000 per time for day care, and ¥1,000 per time for outpatient and home visit types. Households exempt from resident tax and households on public assistance, etc. are exempt. Mothers and babies within 1 year after birth are eligible, and the usable period varies by facility. Advance application is required, and use without applying is not reimbursed.
