If you stay in Japan for more that 1 year you need to get National health insurance. Students who have no income in Japan can get a discount. National Health insurance does not cover dental work. National Health insurance covers 70% of the costs hospital visits and you need to pay the remaining 30% of the price.
You can apply for foreign registration and National health insurance at the same time. If you do not apply for foreign registration you can not get national health insurance. The price of national health insurance depends on the area you live, but generally it is ¥1.500 per a month.
*Student Insurance
Our school provides all students with student insurance. This covers injuries due to accidents (excluding existing illnesses you got in your own country)
Students pay for insurance. If something happens, the student pays the hospital fees and brings the receipt to school. The school will then refund the money to the student. Do not forget to get a receipt from the hospital.
