This page is a user guide for "Birth Navi," a Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare website that displays maternity hospital fees and services nationwide. It explains how to use the site's main features, including facility search and how to select appropriate birthing facilities. The page details information available on facility pages, covering delivery status, childbirth attendance, postpartum care, hospitalization duration, and painless delivery options. It also explains how maternity costs are structured differently when insurance-covered medical treatment is provided during delivery, including caesarean sections and assisted deliveries. All mothers receive a basic 500,000 yen childbirth allowance regardless of cost composition.
