Medical Treatment & Health Checkups in Japan
Can I receive medical treatment in Japan if I do not speak Japanese?
Yes. We provide professional bilingual medical interpreters (certified nurses) who accompany you throughout consultations, examinations, and treatment, ensuring accurate communication with doctors.
How much does medical treatment in Japan cost?
For international patients, medical costs are typically 2–3 times the standard Japanese national insurance rate. The exact cost depends on your condition and treatment plan. We ensure full transparency — all medical fees are paid directly to the hospital with no hidden charges.
Visa & Travel Support
What type of visa do I need for medical treatment in Japan?
For short-term health checkups, a tourist visa is usually sufficient. For long-term treatments such as surgery or cancer therapy, we assist in applying for a Medical Stay Visa as an authorized guarantor approved by the Japanese government.
Can family members accompany the patient?
Yes. Family members can accompany patients under the Medical Stay Visa. We also provide accommodation arrangements, airport transfers, and daily life support during your stay in Japan.
