If you have the postpartum health checkup, which looks at your physical and mental condition soon after the birth, by submitting a checkup voucher, you can receive a subsidy for the cost. For checkups on or after October 1, 2026, you can now have them at contracted medical institutions and contracted midwifery homes anywhere in Tokyo.

The first is around 2 weeks after the birth, and the second around 1 month after the birth (as a rule within 2 months after the birth). You receive the vouchers at the office of the municipality where you live. Even if you move to another municipality in Tokyo, you can keep using the vouchers. They cannot be used if you move outside Tokyo, so contact the municipality you are moving to.

The items written on the voucher are covered by the subsidy. If you have other checkups or treatment, you pay for them yourself. If you will have the checkup outside Tokyo, for example when giving birth in your hometown, consult the municipality where you live in advance.

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.
