How it works

From booking to picking up your medicine — here's exactly what happens at each step.

  1. 1

    Book and pay

    2–3 minutes

    Choose a time that works for you and pay the ¥33,000 consultation fee securely by card. Your appointment is confirmed as soon as payment goes through — no waiting for a callback.

  2. 2

    Video consultation

    10–15 minutes

    At your scheduled time, your doctor calls you by video. You'll describe your symptoms in English, be asked follow-up questions, and receive a diagnosis and treatment plan directly from a physician licensed in Japan.

  3. 3

    Pick up your medicine

    Same day

    If a prescription is needed, we send it electronically to a pharmacy near where you're staying. Bring your passport when you collect it — Japanese pharmacies require ID for prescription medication.

  4. 4

    Receive your documents

    Within the hour

    An English medical certificate (if needed) and an itemized receipt for your insurance arrive by email after your consultation — no extra request or extra charge required.

What to bring

  • • Your passport (for pharmacy ID checks)
  • • A smartphone or computer with a camera
  • • A Wi-Fi or mobile data connection for the video call

If you need in-person care

Not everything can be safely handled by video. If your doctor determines that your condition needs a physical examination, imaging, or lab work, they will tell you directly and point you to appropriate in-person care nearby. We would rather say so plainly than pretend a video call can do more than it can.

For a real emergency — chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, or loss of consciousness — call 119 immediately rather than booking online.
