For couples in which the wife is under 40 on the test start date, when they receive fertility tests and general fertility treatment (timing guidance, drug therapy, artificial insemination), the Tokyo Metropolitan Government subsidizes up to ¥50,000 of the total cost.

The requirements are: (1) a legally married or common-law married couple, (2) both partners received the covered tests at an insured medical institution during the subsidy period (= the wife only or the husband only is not covered), (3) at least one of the couple has been continuously registered as a resident of Tokyo from the test start date to the application date, and (4) the wife is under 40 on the test start date.

The subsidy is given only once per couple. IVF and ICSI are not covered by this program; they are covered by the separate "Tokyo Metropolitan Government Specified Fertility Treatment Cost (Advanced Medical Care) Subsidy Program.""General fertility treatment" covers timing guidance, drug therapy and artificial insemination.

The application deadline is within 2 years of the test start date if testing started on or after April 2, 2024, and within 1 year if it started before that. As a rule, you apply through the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's online application form.

The amount above is an estimate. In practice, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government decides the amount based on the certificate of medical consultation filled in by the medical institution (you do not need to submit receipts). Costs not directly related to testing or treatment, such as meals during a hospital stay, private room charges, and document fees, are not covered. IVF and ICSI, testing or treatment involving a third party, and screening-purpose tests such as a bridal check are also not covered. For details, contact the Children and Child-rearing Support Department, Bureau of Social Welfare, Tokyo Metropolitan Government (03-5320-4362).
