"Excellent service on phone when buying travel insurance. We have used Staysure before and had to make a claim from Singapore in an emergency situation. It was handled well, and all financial payments were dealt with efficiently and speedily. Would highly recommend!"

"Having to cancel my annual holiday 8 days before travelling last year, due to an injury, was frustrating but Staysure helped me reclaim most of the expense on my basic insurance. This year I have upped the premium with the help of an advisor - all the options detailed, so I have been able to choose what is right for me."
5.0 -
"I was unexpectedly diagnosed with an illness that was thankfully cured by surgery. I travel a lot and was unsure how this would affect travel insurance. I phoned Staysure and was given clear and helpful information, asked quite detailed health questions and was finally given a very competitive quote for an annual policy with the option to pay monthly. Very efficient service, great company to deal with."

To be covered, you need to have received all doses of the COVID vaccine that you’ve been offered, including any booster jabs.

You can also be covered if you can’t have the vaccine due to a medical exemption.

If you have refused any doses of the COVID vaccine or any booster jab, then you won’t be covered for COVID related claims.

Healthcare isn’t free for tourists in Japan, and the cost of medical treatment can be high, so it’s important that you have proper cover in place.

If there’s a language barrier between you and the hospital staff, our emergency medical support team can provide translation services where needed.

For Annual Travel Insurance policies, choose ‘Region 3 - Worldwide’ to include Japan in your travel plans.

If you’re booking a one-off trip, you’ll just need to tell us you’re going to Japan.

Floods and earthquakes are common natural disasters in Japan.

Your travel insurance for Japan can only cover you if the area you’re travelling to experiences an earthquake, fire, flood, or hurricane that leads to the government issuing advice against travelling there.

Make sure you check the FCDO’s travel advice before you go on holiday and while you’re away. Your travel insurance will be made invalid and you won’t be covered for cancellation if it was public knowledge that your destination was unsafe to travel to when you travelled.
