Traveling to Japan is an exciting experience, but unexpected situations such as illness, injuries, accidents, or natural disasters can occur. Knowing where to find reliable medical and emergency information in advance can help you travel with greater peace of mind.

Medical Assistance in Japan

If you become sick or injured while traveling in Japan, finding a medical facility or communicating with medical staff may be challenging, especially if you do not speak Japanese.

The Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) provides useful resources for international visitors, including information on medical facilities, multilingual support, and how to access medical care in Japan.

JNTO also offers the Japan Visitor Hotline, available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in English, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese for assistance with illness, accidents, natural disasters, and other emergencies.

We recommend saving this information on your smartphone before your trip so you can quickly access it when needed.
