Regarding educational benefits, once you obtain Japanese residency, you can enjoy: 9 years of free compulsory education (tuition-free for elementary and junior high school); since October 2019, kindergarten tuition has been free; for those attending Japanese universities, tuition is only 1/3 to 1/5 of that for international students, and they are not subject to international student quotas, providing far greater opportunities to enter world-renowned universities compared to international students.
Beyond education, immigrating to Japan offers numerous other benefits. Japan's healthcare system ranks among the best in the world, featuring advanced medical technology and management models. Japan implements a universal health insurance system. For children under 6 years old: the state covers 80%, and the individual pays a maximum of 20%; for those aged 6-69: the state covers 70%, and the individual pays a maximum of 30% (with a payment cap between approximately 57,000 and 80,000 yen); for those aged 70-74: the state covers 80%, and the individual pays a maximum of 20%; for those aged 75 and above: the state covers 90%, and the individual pays a maximum of 10%. Furthermore, standard hospital rooms and ambulance services are free of charge.
Regarding family and child benefits, a monthly subsidy known as the "Child Allowance" is paid for children from birth to age 15. For 0-3 years old: 15,000 yen/month per child; 3 years old to elementary school graduation: 10,000 yen/month for the first child, 10,000 yen/month for the second child, and 15,000 yen/month for the third child (and beyond); elementary school graduation to 15 years old: 10,000 yen/month per child. In general, children aged 0-15 can receive a monthly subsidy of approximately 10,000 yen. There are also subsidies for children in single-parent families, with varying amounts ranging from 40,000 to 60,000 yen depending on the birth order until the child reaches 18 years of age.
As one of the first countries to enter an aging society, Japan has pioneered an "elderly care society" and has developed a rich and comprehensive institutional model. This includes a social insurance system composed of pension insurance, labor insurance, health insurance, and long-term care insurance, which consistently provides excellent living security for the elderly. After contributing to pension insurance for at least 10 years in Japan, one can begin receiving a retirement pension at age 65.
Overall, Japan is a global leader in many aspects. Its comprehensive elderly care system, high-quality medical technology, excellent education, high-level welfare benefits, and comfortable, livable environment have made Japan highly attractive.
