"Hakone, offers a range of healthcare services for both residents and visitors. The town has several clinics and hospitals that provide general medical care, including emergency services. These facilities are equipped with modern medical equipment and staffed by highly trained medical professionals, many of whom can speak English. In addition to general healthcare, Hakone also offers specialized medical services such as dental care, eye care, and elderly care. The town is also known for its onsen (hot springs), which are believed to have therapeutic properties and are often used as a form of natural health treatment. Pharmacies are readily available throughout Hakone, offering both prescription and over-the-counter medications. The town also has a number of wellness centers that offer services such as massage therapy, acupuncture, and other alternative treatments. Despite being a small town, Hakone's healthcare services are known for their high quality. The healthcare providers in Hakone are committed to ensuring the health and well-being of the community, and they strive to provide the best possible care to all patients. However, it's important to note that while Japan has a universal healthcare system, foreign visitors may need to pay for healthcare services upfront and seek reimbursement from their travel insurance providers later. Therefore, it's recommended that visitors to Hakone have comprehensive travel insurance that covers medical expenses," said a member in Hakone, Japan.
