We can help arrange appointments with the hospital or clinic of your choice, or help you find a suitable facility based on your needs.
Reception staff are often unable to speak English, even when the doctor does. In Japan, appointments are most commonly made by telephone. It is still relatively uncommon for first-time patients to be able to make appointments with majot hospitals online or by email.
Please note that we do not provide 24-hour emergency assistance or arrange urgent, same-day appointments.
Our services are available to residents living in Japan. If you are visiting Japan as a tourist, please contact your hotel or travel insurance company for assistance with arranging a medical appointment.
Specialists such as psychiatrists, dentists, gynaecologists, and paediatricians generally require appointments in advance. Medical examinations, such as company health checks, also require advance booking and may need to be arranged well in advance.
General internal medicine clinics often accept walk-in patients without an appointment. However, we recommend checking the clinic’s opening hours before visiting, as some walk-in clinics may close or change their hours without advance notice.
Major hospitals often require a referral letter before accepting an appointment. Their appointment staff may also ask for detailed information about your symptoms, medical history, and reason for consultation.
We can help you arrange appointments, make inquiries on your behalf, and confirm whether your chosen clinic can provide a specific test, medication, or treatment.
