Will I need to travel to see a specialist?
When we asked members in Tokyo if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...
"Yes, there are a good number of medical specialists in Tokyo. People seeking highly specialized medical care often go to renowned hospitals and medical centers in the city. Some of these institutions include the University of Tokyo Hospital, Keio University Hospital, and St. Luke's International Hospital. These hospitals are known for their advanced medical facilities, cutting-edge research, and experienced medical professionals who specialize in various fields such as oncology, cardiology, neurology, and orthopedics, among others. Additionally, there are numerous specialized clinics throughout Tokyo that cater to specific medical needs, ensuring that patients have access to the best possible care," wrote a member who made the move to Tokyo, Japan.
