Comprehensive cover when travelling to Japan
Japan is all about fusion. It’s a destination of modern cities and centuries-old temples. Japan hosts everything from cutting-edge robotic exhibitions to tea ceremonies and flower arranging. In 2021, Japan hosted the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, a sensational display of the world’s most elite athletes.
If you’re planning a trip to Japan, you should be aware that there’s no health agreement with the UK.You’ll be expected to confirm that you have valid Travel Insurance straight away or pay for the entire cost of any treatment you receive. It’s worth making sure your policy includes repatriation cover, as an air ambulance back to the UK from Asia costs £75,000 on average.
If you need emergency medical treatment abroad, the costs can quickly spiral out of control. Given that 1 Brit every 3 minutes needs help with emergency medical care when abroad, it’s not worth travelling without comprehensive Travel Insurance for Japan.

How to choose the right level of cover for Japan
It’s essential that you choose high-quality cover for Japan. Look for a policy that includes the key benefits below:
Emergency medical expenses – Japan has excellent medical facilities. However, treatment can be expensive. To avoid unexpected medical bills, make sure you choose a policy that covers emergency medical expenses.
Repatriation to the UK – Japan is 9,195 km away from the UK, so it’s no surprise that medical transport from there back to the UK is costly. You’ll want to have repatriation cover to protect you should the worst happen.
Cancellation and Curtailment – It’s best to be prepared. Cancellation cover will help you with costs if you have to cancel or cut short your trip.
At AllClear, we offer flexible options that can be tailored to suit you and your needs. You’ll be covered for:
