To be covered, you need to have received all doses of the COVID vaccine that you’ve been offered. This could be one or two depending on your age.
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, then you won’t be covered.
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.
