Health

Medical care in Japan is quite advanced, but most Japanese doctors do not speak fluent English. Hotel doctors, or those at large university-affiliated hospitals, are most likely to speak English.

Yirtually every medicine you are familiar with is available in Japan, but the brand names may be different. Chinese herbal medicines (kanpóyaku) and acupuncture (kari) are also available. Many prescribed medicines come in powdered form.

The fire department provides a free ambulance service for emergencies. Dial 119.
