When you feel unwell while traveling

Prepare information about your insurance, medical institutions, and medications in case you become unwell during your trip.

This page not only provides general information, but also organizes the order and points to check when actually preparing. For people coming to Japan from overseas, it is important to proceed with plenty of time, as each procedure can take time due to differences in language and systems.

Determine urgency

Serious symptoms will prioritize emergency services.

Conditions vary depending on the person and company. The most efficient way to proceed is to organize your purpose, timing, budget, and necessary language support, and then check only the parts you don't understand with a specialist.

Check supported languages

Please confirm by phone or other means before your visit.

For diagnosis, go to a medical institution

Avoid making self-judgments based solely on general information.

When considering the lifestyle of not only the person but also the entire family, the place they live and how they spend their time will also change. It will be easier to reduce the burden after daily life if you use the facilities that you frequently use and the trips you make every day as your criteria.

Don't schedule too much

While transportation is convenient when staying in Japan, it can sometimes take longer than planned due to things like navigating through train stations, crowds, and weather. Leaving free time will make it easier to deal with sudden changes or illness. Especially when visiting a region for the first time, limiting the number of places you visit in one day will give you more time to enjoy the area.

One source of information during your stay

It's a good idea to organize your accommodation, transportation, reservation number, insurance, emergency contacts, etc. without relying solely on your smartphone. Sharing this information with your family and companions and deciding who should check what in case of a problem will speed up your response.
