Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need travel insurance for Japan?
Travel insurance is not required for Japan but strongly recommended. Japan is expensive — a hospital overnight stay can cost $400–800, and translation/assistance services in a medical emergency are invaluable.
Does travel insurance cover earthquakes in Japan?
Most travel insurance policies cover trip disruption and emergency evacuation caused by natural disasters including earthquakes. Check your policy's natural disaster clause before travelling.
Can I get travel insurance for Japan if I have a pre-existing condition?
Yes, but you need to declare it. Some insurers exclude pre-existing conditions or charge higher premiums. EKTA and similar providers can cover stable pre-existing conditions — always disclose them.
