Childbirth costs subsidized for people who find hospital childbirth financially difficult (designated hospitals and midwifery homes)
Amount and support
Childbirth costs at a designated facility are subsidized (partial payment depending on income)
For people who cannot give birth in a hospital for financial reasons, this program subsidizes the cost when they give birth at a hospital or midwifery home designated under the Child Welfare Act. It is for households with a municipal resident tax amount of ¥19,000 or less and similar (excluding taxable households that receive the Childbirth and Childcare Lump-sum Allowance from health insurance). Depending on household income, you may pay part of the cost. First, have an interview consultation at the Livelihood Welfare Division, Women's Consultation Section.
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.
Who is eligible
People who cannot give birth in a hospital for financial reasons, in households with a municipal resident tax amount of ¥19,000 or less (excluding taxable households that receive the Childbirth and Childcare Lump-sum Allowance)
Notes
