Overnight ¥2,500/day, day visit ¥1,500/time, home visit ¥1,000/time

This city program lets you receive care from midwives, etc. at a low out-of-pocket cost to support your physical and mental recovery and childcare after birth. You can use it if it is hard to get support from family, you feel physically or mentally unstable, or you are worried about childcare.

When you can use it depends on the type: overnight (short stay) and day visit types are until the baby is under 4 months old, and the home visit type is until under 1 year old.

The out-of-pocket cost is ¥2,500 per day per mother and baby for overnight stays, ¥1,500 per time for day visits, and ¥1,000 per time for home visits. Households exempt from resident tax and households receiving public assistance pay nothing. For multiple births, ¥750 per day (¥500 for day and home visits) is added for each baby from the second.

From April 1, 2026, the number of days for the overnight type was expanded from 3 nights/4 days to 6 nights/7 days (up to 7 days in total). Day visits are up to 3 times (5 times for multiple births), and home visits are up to 2 times (3 times for multiple births).

Apply from 28 weeks of pregnancy. Contact the Health Promotion Division or the Nagasaki Health Consultation Center; after scheduling is arranged, you pay on the day.
