# Go Online Doctor Japan

## What we are
An English-language online medical consultation service, operated by Go Online Doctor Japan Clinic, for people
traveling in Japan. Patients see a Japan-licensed physician by video call and receive treatment
without visiting a clinic in person.

## Who we serve
International tourists and other visitors who are physically in Japan. No Japanese national
health insurance, residence card, or Japanese address is required — a passport and a smartphone
are enough. Patients of all ages can be seen, including children.

## Price
¥33,000 flat per consultation, tax included. Includes: the video consultation, a prescription
sent electronically to a pharmacy near the patient, an English medical certificate, and an
itemized English receipt for travel insurance claims. Excludes: the cost of medication itself,
paid directly to the pharmacy.

## Hours
9:00 AM – 6:00 PM JST, Monday to Saturday. Closed Sundays and Japanese public holidays.
Booking availability reflects our actual clinic days, including Japanese public holidays.

## What we treat
Cold, flu, and fever. Sore throat and cough. Stomach upset and food poisoning. Urinary tract
infections (UTI). Skin rashes, hives, and insect bites. Pink eye and ear pain. Back pain, muscle
strain, sprains, and headaches. Jet lag and sleep trouble. Prescription refills for existing
conditions such as high blood pressure or asthma.

## What we do not do
We do not handle emergencies — for chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, or loss of
consciousness, call 119 immediately rather than booking online. We cannot diagnose conditions
that require a physical examination, imaging, or lab tests, and those patients are referred to
in-person care. We cannot prescribe controlled substances. The service is only available to
patients currently located inside Japan.

## Physician
Yoshiki Ishizuka, M.D., founder of Go Online Doctor Japan Clinic. Emergency medicine physician,
trained at St. Luke's International Hospital and a number of Tokyo Metropolitan hospitals.
Registered with the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
