Is it time that you travelled with the UK’s most trusted Travel Insurance provider1?

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.

As the UK’s No.1 for travel insurance2, AllClear can help you find the right level of cover. Our policies include:  

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:

  • Travel Delay, Cancellation* and Curtailment
  • Cost of emergency medical treatment 
  • Legal protection cover

We’ve included enhanced Covid cover for FREE with all AllClear branded policies. Discover more below

Frequently asked questions

Is Japan good for a holiday?

Japan attracted 31.19 million international tourists in 2018. It’s a destination with plenty to offer. If you’re considering a trip to Japan, we recommend adding Tokyo and Kyoto to your travel agenda. We also recommend having comprehensive cover in place to ensure that your trip runs smoothly.

Is Travel Insurance required for a Japanese visa?

It’s not a legal requirement, but having Travel Insurance is advised. It will offer you financial protection in an array of unforeseen circumstances. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, make sure you declare them when buying your chosen policy; otherwise, it may not be valid.

How much is a visa to Japan?

From 10 June, tourists will be allowed to enter from the UK and other ‘blue list’ countries provided they are sponsored and registered on the Entrants, Returnees Follow-up System (ERFS) by an approved Japanese travel agency.
