See a doctor and a hospital.
Can foreign tourists without Japanese medical insurance see a doctor in Japan? The answer is yes.
Although it is expensive to see a doctor in Japan, you can ask the hospital to issue a medical certificate if you have already applied for relevant insurance before going abroad. Applying for insurance payment after returning to China can reduce some burdens.
Remember Japanese words: common cold or Illness?
Japanese common cold (wind) means cold, and getting sick (wind) means getting sick. Seeing a doctor in Japan is very expensive, so if the average Japanese say common cold, it's a common cold. Generally, I only go to the pharmacy to buy my own medicine. But if you use the word sick, it means it's serious and you have to go to the hospital!
When looking for the nearest hospital, you can open Google Maps and directly search for "Hospital" (12).

Japanese words to remember: what's the difference between hospital, clinic and?
Medical facilities in Japan can also be divided into large hospitals and small and medium-sized clinics according to their scale. Large hospitals and medical institutions, similar to the United hospitals and medical centers, are large in scale and can provide a large number of beds. For example, the affiliated hospital of Tokyo University School of Medicine and Osaka Municipal Medical Center are all big hospitals.
Hospitals and clinics are smaller than hospitals. Even when we talk about clinics, many of them use fashionable foreign words (clinic), mostly with a single theme. For example, stomatological hospitals (dental clinics), outpatient clinics (pediatric clinics), dermatological clinics (dermatological clinics) and so on.
