Finding
a Doctor

Optometrists & Ophtalmologists in Japan

  • Your best bet for an affordable pair of glasses are discount eyewear chain store such as J!NS, Owndays or Zoff!

  • They also have an English version of their pamphlets.

  • The cost of their glasses includes a quick eye test, so you don’t need to bring your own eye prescription.

  • Normal glasses can be made in 30 minutes, but if you have any special requirements (e.g. astigmatism), they might not be able to make your glasses same day (and you will have to come back to pick them up).

  • Unless you need an eye exam for some kind of condition (e.g. an injury or illness), a regular eye exam for blurry vision is not covered by the National Health Insurance.

  • Eyeglasses are not covered by it either.

Contact Lenses

  • As for contact lenses, you might want to buy them online since it is usually cheaper (e.g. Amazon, Rakuten).

  • However, you can still find some low‐price contact lenses in‐store in Japan like at Don Quijote or Costco.

  • Circle lenses tend to be more expensive in Japan and cheaper online or in South Korea.

    Note: thyroid checks, counseling possible (don’t know if English is possible).

Be Prepared

  • For sicknesses other than a common cold or flu, it is a good idea to be prepared with appropriate vocabulary so as to save time when checking in and speaking to the doctor.

  • Especially if you have any medical allergies or pre‐existing conditions, and since terminology might be different (e.g. cancer screening vs pap smear).

  • In Japan, people expect that you wear a face mask if you are sick or not not feeling well.

  • Some people also wear face masks as a preventative measure.

 

  • Many people in Japan go to work sick, so both teachers and students might come to school sick.

  • Between inefficient face masks, people touching everything (e.g. money, doorknobs, handrails, train/bus handlebars) without washing their hands after coughing/sneezing into them, or after going to the bathroom, please take extra care of yourself in cold and flu season!

Privacy

  • Privacy is different in Japan and if privacy is a concern for you, going to another city, or even better another prefecture, would be a good idea.

  • Going to a local clinic is totally fine and might be more convenient, but you might run into your students’ parents and/or co‐workers (especially if you're a "woman" going to a ladies's clinic, they might assume that you're pregnant or have STIs/STDs, but if you don't mind them thinking/spreading rumors about that, going to a local ladies's clinic is more convenient). So, keep that in mind! ;)

Prescriptions

  • When you get your doctor's prescription for some medication, you will be able to get it at the pharmacy.

  • You can often find them nearby hospitals and clinics, and those usually have what you need in stock.

⚠ Important ⚠

  • Make sure to get your prescription as soon as possible. If you go after the deadline, you might be told to go back to your doctor and get a renewal. If it's a pharmacy near the hospital/clinic where you got your prescription, you can ask them to give a phone call to the doctor about the prescription and it might be enough (to avoid going back just for a renewal).

Ladies' Clinics

  • Ladies’ Clinics (レディースクリニ ッ ク redīsu kurinikku) are, as the name says, a kind of clinics only for women, specialized in women’s health.

  • If you need an OB-GYN, you will find one at a Ladies’ Clinic.

  • Hospitals (病院 byōin) often cover a wide range of specializations, deal with emergencies, and also have in‐patient facilities.

  • Large hospitals also have a first‐time consultation fee and a fee for subsequent visits if you don’t have a letter of referral from a clinic.

Kusatsu

⚠ Important ⚠

  • For non‐emergency cases, clinics should be the first port of call when sick or injured.

  • Most clinics do not require appointments, but they are available at some and sometimes necessary so it is best to confirm beforehand.

  • By the way, DON'T FORGET to bring your Medical Insurance Card when you visit one of those medical facilities as it will enable you to pay only 30% of your total bill, and to bring money with you since many clinics are CASH-ONLY.

English-Speaking Doctors

  • Understanding medical terms in Japanese might not be the easiest thing to do and/or you don’t want everybody to know about your private life.

  • Finding an English‐Speaking doctor might be challenging at first, but thanks to those websites, they could make your life easier!

  • Even if they have an English‐speaking doctor, you might have to set up your appointment in Japanese since some receptionists don’t speak English.

  • In any case, when in doubt, go to the doctor! Healthcare is cheap and you never know what you might find (breast cancer, fibroadenomas, MRIs, etc.).

Visiting the Hospital/Clinic

  • ​Visiting the hospital or a clinic for the first time can be intimidating, especially in Japanese.

  • Even if you're fluent, it might slightly differ from what you're used to in your home country.

What to Bring
  1. Resident Card (在留カード zairyū kaado)

  2. Health Insurance Card(s) (保険証 hokenshō)

  3. Translation aid (dictionary, smartphone translation app, etc.); if you are comfortable, you can ask your supervisor, someone you know or the PAs to go with you.

  4. Prescription Notebook (お薬手帳 okusuri techou) if applicable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Suggested Steps
  1. ​Walk to the counter and sign‐in.

  2. Provide Residence Card and the Health Insurance Card.

  3. Offer a brief description of the nature of the problem.

  4. If a questionnaire is issued, fill out the questionnaire.

  5. Take the number given to you and wait your turn.

  6. After seeing the doctor, wait to be called to the checkout counter to retrieve the Health Insurance Card and pay.

  7. If they provide medicine, it will also be given to you at this time.*

*Fractures
  • If a JET experiences a fracture or minor sprain, a cast will likely be issued.

  • The hospital will provide crutches (though a deposit may be requested).

Procedure

  • You can use sick leave (病休 byokyu) when you fall ill and are unable to attend your regular work hours, but the the number of days available and the rules for use will vary by contracting organization (ask your supervisor).

  • If you are too sick to go to work and want to take sick leave (病休 byokyu):

Suggested Steps
  1. Call your supervisor (who will often inform your school(s)) to explain you are sick and want to take the day off.

  2. You may need a doctor’s note/medical certificate (診断書 shindansho; ~¥3,000) and/or some other proof (e.g. medicine prescribed) when you take byokyu.

  3. Confirm with your supervisor if you will need this. Also, make sure you ask them if you will be asked to take paid leave (年休 nenkyu) or be given sick leave (病休 byokyu) to avoid any surprise later.

  • ⚠ Your supervisor might call and ask your doctor for details about your condition and they may also drop by your home to check‐up on you.

  • ⚠ Be sure to keep all prescription bags too.
