This is an important notice to those who are planning to travel to Japan from Mainland China, Hong Kong, and South Korea regarding TOKIO OMOTENASHI POLICY, an overseas travel insurance policy provided by Tokio Marine & Nichido for inbound travel to Japan.
Effective July 1, 2026, the premiums for this insurance policy will be revised (increased). In accordance with this change, we would like to remind everyone who is preparing for a trip to take note of the following.
That is, the fee for this insurance is calculated based on the “date of entry into Japan”, not on the “date of application”.
In other words, if you plan to enter Japan on or after July 1, 2026, the “new revised premiums” will apply even if you complete the application procedures now.
The current premiums will apply to this site until June 30, 2026, and will be changed to show the new premiums on July 1, 2026, Japan time.
What is the reason for the premium revision?
The main reason for the premium revision is the rising cost of medical care and labor in Japan.
In recent years, in order to maintain a system that allows travelers to receive medical examinations without language barriers and with peace of mind, medical facilities have been increasing the cost of assigning multilingual staff and receiving operations.
Tokio Marine & Nichido believes that continuing to provide prompt and optimal medical services to travelers and paying appropriate fees to medical institutions that respond 24 hours a day will protect local medical services in Japan and ultimately support safe travel for everyone.
We appreciate your understanding as this is our response to ensure that we can continue to provide the highest level of support in a stable manner.
The price increase will vary depending on the number of days of insurance coverage, but will range from 250 yen to 140 yen per day.
Beware of “Outdated Fee Schedule
Currently, there are various insurance referral sites on the Internet for travel to Japan.
However, we believe that several sites are not prepared for this system change or revision.
(Because there have been such cases in the past.)
Therefore, even after July 1, the “old (lower) premiums before revision” may still be left displayed on the web page.
If you trust the old information and proceed with the procedure, you may suddenly find yourself in a situation where the price is higher than you expected when you get to the final payment screen.
We promise to provide accurate and honest guidance.
We are always ready to reflect correct premium revision information on this website so that visitors to Japan can plan their budgets correctly in advance.
The amount will not change unfairly during the course of the procedure, and you can proceed with your application with confidence based on the accurate information shown.
Visits to Japanese medical institutions are sometimes very expensive.
With 24-hour multilingual interpretation support and cashless medical care, TOKIO OMOTENASHI POLICY is an indispensable talisman for a safe and secure trip to Japan.
Please do not be misled by inaccurate information due to price differences after July 1, 2026, and prepare for a safe and enjoyable trip through our reliable and proven website.
We wish you a wonderful and memorable stay in Japan.
