Medical 医療
Make sure you take your health insurance card when visiting a doctor. Japanese hospitals are divided between well equipped large hospitals with examination equipment and hospitalization facilities, and local private doctor offices and clinics.
Most run on a first-in-first-served basis. Therefore, sometimes you may have to wait 1-2hours. Some hospitals require reservations, so please check beforehand.
Not all medical facilities can interact in foreign languages all the time. Please, make a phone call to check every time you make an appointment.
