- In FY2026, a one-time extra ¥11,000 for ages 0–14
For each child aged 0 to 18 living in Tokyo, ¥5,000 a month (¥60,000 a year) is paid. There is no income limit; all households are covered.
Unlike the Child Allowance, it does not start automatically, so you must apply yourself first. But you only need to do this the first time. Once you apply, no procedure is needed in later fiscal years as long as you remain eligible.
In FY2026 (April 2026–March 2027), as "Kosodate Ōen+ (Plus)," a one-time extra ¥11,000 is paid for children aged 0 to 14 (no application needed).

1,080,000 + 11,000 = 1,091,000 yen
The amount above is an estimate. Officially, the payment period runs "until the first March 31 after the child turns 18," so depending on the birth month the total can be up to ¥1,140,000 (just under 19 years from birth). Kosodate Ouen Plus is a one-time payment for the period from February 2, 2026 to April 1, 2027, and the official source does not mention whether it will continue after that. A 14-year-old child is not eligible if born on or before April 1, 2012. If you have more than one child, each child receives the payment.
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.
