Health and Medicine

There are many medical institutions in Japan, each with their own specialization. If you have a minor illness or injury, you should go to a small clinic first. If you go to a large hospital without a letter of introduction from a clinic, you will be charged an additional fee of 5000 yen or more.

If you want to find a doctor during holidays or at night, please use “Medical Net Shizuoka”.
