Will I need to travel to see a specialist?

Answer this Question

When we asked members in Japan if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...

"Tokyo is widely regarded as having the best selection of medical specialists in Japan, with many of the country's top hospitals and clinics located in the city. Other major cities such as Osaka, Kyoto, and Yokohama also have a wide range of medical specialists available. In addition, many smaller cities and rural areas throughout Japan have excellent medical facilities and specialists, making it possible to find quality care no matter where you are in the country," commented one expat who made the move to Japan.
