 Childbirth Allowance

If you have National Health Insurance and give birth at a hospital, you can apply for a childbirth allowance called “Shussan Ikuji Ichiji Kin” (a system in which you receive 420,000 yen from National Health Insurance after giving birth). Some hospitals don’t have this system so please ask your hospital directly.

If the expense of the delivery is more than 420,000 yen, you will need to pay the remaining cost to the hospital.

If the expense of the delivery is less than 420,000 yen, you will receive the rest of the money from National Health Insurance.

If you give birth to a baby in another country or give birth within 22 weeks of pregnancy, you can receive 404,000 yen from National Health Insurance.
