How to Find a Clinic and Accessible Taxi for Tourists in Japan
Find a foreigner-friendly hospital or English-speaking clinic by symptom, location and language, then check non-emergency medical taxi options.
Three steps to get medical care in Japan
Call the clinic before you go
Ask about opening hours, appointments, language support, payment methods and documents needed for travel insurance.
Arrange accessible transport
For non-emergency visits, search for a medical taxi or wheelchair-accessible taxi. Confirm availability and fares directly with the operator.
Visiting a clinic and receiving medicine
In Japan, medicine may be dispensed at an outside pharmacy or, at some clinics, inside the medical facility (in-house dispensing). In-house dispensing can reduce travel, but it is not available everywhere. Ask the clinic before your visit.
What to bring
- Passport or another form of identification
- Travel insurance policy and assistance contact
- Names or photos of medicines you take
- When symptoms began and allergy information
Costs and payment
Visitors may need to pay the full cost at the counter. Some clinics do not accept credit cards, so ask about cash, cards and estimated fees before visiting.
