Childbirth/childcare support benefits
Niseko Town utilizes the national "childbirth and child-rearing support subsidy project" to consistently support child-rearing families from pregnancy to childbirth and child-rearing so that all pregnant women and child-rearing families can give birth and raise children with peace of mind. We will provide integrated counseling support that leads to necessary support through interviews, etc., and economic support that aims to reduce the burden of childbirth and childcare.
