概要欄
Did you know a routine doctor visit in Japan can cost under $20? Thanks to the country’s universal health insurance system, most patients pay only 30% out of pocket, while insurance covers the rest.

In this video, I’ll walk you through:
✅ The basics of Japan’s health insurance (Social vs. National)
✅ What’s covered and not covered (like cosmetic surgery or orthodontics)
✅ The “High-Cost Medical Expense Benefit,” which caps monthly bills to prevent medical bankruptcy
✅ Real-life examples, like hay fever visits and dental cleanings, so you can compare medical costs with your country

Whether you’re interested in Japanese culture, curious about healthcare systems around the world, or just want to know how people in Japan pay for medical care, this video gives you a clear, practical look inside.
