Complete Guide to Buying Japaneses Medicine in Japan
If you still don’t know which department (clinic) you should go to
Here are hospitals (here, hospitals with 200 to 400 beds or more) and clinics in Japan. The hospital has multiple departments, so you can see any symptoms.
However, if you do not have a document called a letter of reference(referral)* by the clinic to see a hospital, the cost of medical treatment will increase accordingly.
* Medical examination costs will be higher at night and on holidays.
If you are in a local city in Japan, you may not have a department (clinic) near your house, but it is recommended that you visit the clinic for the first visit as much as possible. If you can get a letter of reference(referral)* from a clinic somewhere, the cost of medical treatment at the hospital will not increase.
*750 yen
