We arrange dialysis appointments for individuals staying in Japan for travel, business, or other purposes.
Even if you plan to visit multiple regions in Japan, we can coordinate dialysis appointments in areas served by our affiliated dialysis facilities. You will not need to communicate separately with each medical facility, allowing you to enjoy your stay in Japan with peace of mind.
[Dialysis Appointment Process]
STEP 1: Contact Us and Submit Your Request
Please use the "Contact Us" form on this website to let us know your preferred city and the date and time you wish to receive dialysis treatment.
Please note that most dialysis facilities in Japan are closed on Sundays; therefore, we are unable to arrange dialysis appointments on Sundays.
If you have already selected a preferred dialysis facility, you may also submit your request through the "Contact Us" section on that facility's page.
Arranging a dialysis appointment may take some time, so we recommend submitting your request two to three weeks before your preferred treatment date. Please note that we may not be able to accommodate your request, depending on appointment availability.
STEP 2: Availability Confirmation
Based on the details of your request, we will check appointment availability with the dialysis facility.
STEP 3: Submit the Required Documents
The following documents are required for the appointment process:
• Patient Information Sheet
We will send this form to you by email. Please complete all required fields with the assistance of your regular physician.
• Your most recent blood test results
• Your dialysis records
• A copy of your passport
STEP 4: Final Decision on Acceptance
Based on the documents you submit, the dialysis facility in Japan will make the final decision on whether it can accept you for treatment.
For language support, many medical facilities can assist patients using translation apps or translation devices. We can also arrange a medical interpreter upon request.
STEP 5: Payment
As a general rule, dialysis fees are paid directly to the medical facility on the day of your dialysis treatment.
However, some medical facilities may require advance payment before you arrive in Japan. In such cases, we will provide instructions on how to make an online payment by credit card.
STEP 6: Appointment Confirmation and Information
Once your appointment has been confirmed, we will provide you with instructions and important precautions for the day of your dialysis treatment.
STEP 7: Day of Your Dialysis Treatment
Please arrive at the medical facility at your scheduled appointment time to receive your dialysis treatment.
At some affiliated medical facilities in Tokyo and Osaka, a complimentary shuttle service is available subject to applicable conditions.
