Used to urgent care at home? How clinics work in Japan
In Japan you usually choose a clinic by its department and walk in yourself. For a cold, a fever or stomach trouble, the official visitor guide points to internal medicine, which works like a family doctor. Type what you need in the search below and we show the department the guide suggests.
Large hospitals are mainly for referrals and emergencies. At a university hospital or a large hospital with 200 or more beds, a first visit without a referral letter from a clinic costs an extra ¥7,000 or more (¥5,000 or more for dental) on top of the bill. Emergency patients are not charged this fee. Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare
Opening hours vary from clinic to clinic. Call before you go, and ask whether you need an appointment. In an emergency, call 119.
In an emergency, call 119 for an ambulance. This list starts from the national register of medical institutions that accept foreign patients, run by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and the Japan Tourism Agency, plus consulate lists and our own checks of clinic websites. Languages, hours and booking options can change. Call the clinic to confirm before you go. A listing is not an endorsement or a quality rating. No paid placements.

Will my travel insurance pay?
Every policy is different, so check your own policy wording. This is a general guide, not a coverage decision.
Usually covered: doctor visits and hospital care for an illness or injury that starts suddenly during the trip, emergency dental treatment for pain relief, and complications of pregnancy. (Squaremouth, World Nomads)
Usually not covered: conditions you had before buying the policy unless it includes a waiver, routine check-ups and health screening, vaccinations, prescription refills, routine pregnancy care and childbirth, dental work that can wait until you are home, and any treatment you planned or travelled to Japan for. Injuries from some higher-risk activities are excluded unless you add cover.
Before you need it: the Japan National Tourism Organization strongly recommends travel insurance, and visitors with unpaid medical bills may be refused entry later. Check whether your policy is cashless, meaning the insurer pays the clinic directly, because some clinics do not take cards. Keep the insurer’s emergency number with you, and ask your credit card provider whether your card includes cover. You can also buy insurance after you arrive. (JNTO)
At the clinic: call your insurer first if you can, keep every receipt and any documents from the doctor, and ask the insurer which forms it needs for a claim.
