It is recommended to purchase overseas travel insurance before you leave.- Overseas travel insurance can give you a feeling of security, even in emergencies, so you can better enjoy your trip.
- Medical expenses can be very high in Japan. If you have purchased travel insurance which offers sufficient coverage of the costs, you can receive treatments without concern.
- It is recommended to purchase overseas travel insurance with travel support for hospital referrals, medical interpretation and cashless medical service. Please check your insurance details before travelling. For example, perinatal medical care is not covered by travel insurance and can be expensive.
