Does this sound familiar?

You shouldn't have to do this in a second language.

01Explaining how you really feel — in Japanese — sounds impossible.
02You've looked for an English-speaking clinic, but they're hard to find.
03You're not even sure your insurance covers it.
04And who has time to keep commuting to a clinic?

Care that fits your life

Fully in English

A doctor who speaks English, treating you in English. No interpreter, no translating your own feelings.

Covered by insurance

We're a Japanese clinic, so your health insurance applies — just like any local one.

Online or in-clinic

Start online, or come in. Switch whenever you want.

Prescription & documents

Your prescription is sent as a same-day PDF for a pharmacy near you, and medical certificates are issued the same day — fully online.

Care in English

You deserve care in your own language.

Your doctor speaks English and treats you in English. We start by understanding your context — your language, culture, and life in Japan — before any diagnosis or treatment.
