Day care
You pay the facility's fee minus the city's share
Mothers and babies within 1 year after birth can rest and receive breastfeeding guidance and childcare advice at midwife clinics or hospitals. The city subtracts ¥27,000 for the overnight type and ¥17,000 for the day care type from the daily fee set by the facility, and the rest is your cost. The overnight and day care types combined can be used up to 7 days in total per birth. There is also fee reduction support that lowers your cost by a further ¥2,500 per day, usable up to 5 days in total across all services, including the outpatient and home visit types.

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.
