Important Notes

– Children of researchers invited from overseas (including for the JSPS program) or international students, etc. are accepted as “privately admitted children,” a status categorized by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, if there are difficulties in applying for the Approval of Necessity of Childcare Assistance under the Comprehensive Support System for Children and Child-Rearing (eligibility class 3), and meet the above required items 1, 2, 5, and 6. Privately admitted children are charged at a different rate. Please click here for details.
