If you need to visit a doctor in Japan, you might run into some difficulties when communicating. While there are English speaking doctors or staff at some clinics and hospitals in Japan, the majority of places only understand Japanese. Even if you can find an English-speaking doctor, they might not be completely fluent and might have trouble understanding your requests. While most doctors in Japan are very helpful, learning some Japanese can make your visit go much smoother and thorough.
These phrases use polite, formal Japanese. While there are more casual phrases that you could use, it’s usually much better to use more formal Japanese. You can sound rude or unsophisticated if you use phrases that are too casual. So we opted to use more polite Japanese phrases. This way, you can be sure that your Japanese will sound polite and the doctors and staff will appreciate it too!

Most doctors in Japan will issue you a patient ID card upon your first visit to their clinic. When you first visit a doctor’s clinic, you will usually have to fill out a form (name, address, allergies, pre-existing medical conditions, etc.). Using this information, they will enter you into their system and issue you a patient ID card. This card is only valid for that specific clinic. For example, if you go to doctor Suzuki’s clinic, the patient ID card you receive from them can only be used at that clinic. Think of it as a “membership card.”
The next time you visit them, all you need to do is give them the patient ID card, and they find all of your personal information. Many clinics also have online check-ins, where you can queue in line or make an appointment from their website or app.
1. I ‘m sorry, but it looks like I lost my patient ID card. – すみません、診察券(しんさつけん)を無(な)くしてしまったようなんですが。(sumimasen shinsatsuken o nakushite shimatta you nan desu ga)

Insurance Matters

|---|---|---|---|
| 保険 | ほけん | hoken | insurance |
| 保険証 | ほけんしょう | hokenshou | insurance card |
Every time you visit a doctor in Japan, they will ask you for your insurance card. If you live in Japan, it is required to have some kind of health insurance. The good news is that anyone can enter into the Japanese national health insurance. If you work full time, you may receive other types of health insurance from your company. In any case, you will receive a health insurance card. You’ll need to show this card every time your visit a doctor or pharmacy in Japan.
In the case where you don’t have your card (you applied for national insurance but haven’t received your card in the mail yet), you can pay the full price of your doctor’s visit/medicine. Make sure you keep your receipt!! When you do receive your health insurance card, you can go back to the doctor’s clinic/pharmacy with your receipt and get a partial refund (70%) on your bill. Most insurance in Japan covers 70% of your bill.
1. I don’t have insurance. (i.e. I’m not covered by Japanese insurance system.) – 日本(にほん)の保険(ほけん)に入(はい)っていないんですが。(nihon no hoken ni haitte inain desu ga)
2. I’m sorry but I left my insurance card at home. – すみません、保険証(ほけんしょう)を忘(わす)れてしまったんですが。(sumimasen hokenshou o wasurete shimattan desu ga)
Talking to the Doctor (Describing Your Condition, Symptoms, etc.)
When you see the doctor, they will ask you what your symptoms or ailments are. Usually, the doctor will ask something along the lines of “今日(きょう)はどうしましたか？(kyou wa dou shimashita ka?)” Use the following words and phrases to help describe your symptoms to the doctors.
However, if you’re having trouble communicating using Japanese, be sure to use lots of gestures and expressions. This can help the doctor to understand what your ailment may be. Your doctor might also know a few medical terms in English, so you can also give that a try. The Japanese adjective for painful, or sore (as in, “it hurts”) is “痛い – itai). If you are feeling pain somewhere, you can always point to the area while saying “itai.”
