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Beware of “Outdated Fee Schedule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.

I had always had an image of Disney at Christmas as something special and had always wanted to go.

However, every year during the Christmas season, it is crowded and far from my home, so I have not been able to go there, hoping that one day I would be able to visit.

The reason we decided to go to Tokyo DisneySea this time around was because the timing was a milestone for myself and my friends who are attending nursing school.

I have been busy over the past year and found that time has flown by.

That is why I decided to go to Disney Sea as a reward for my hard work over the past year and to change my mind to keep working hard.

Once I decided to go, I was more and more excited as the day approached, until the day of the event.

Even the preparation time, such as thinking about what to wear and talking about Disney with friends, was fun, and I couldn’t wait for the day of the wedding.

Christmas Disney decorations and Christmas trees

On the day of the event, we lined up early in the morning and had to endure the coldest weather imaginable, but the moment we entered the park, we were so excited that we forgot about the cold.

DisneySea at Christmas was more special than I had expected, and as soon as I entered the park, I felt a different atmosphere from the usual DisneySea.

Later, as we walked through the park, the decorations and lights were spread out in Christmas colors of red and green, and everywhere we looked we could feel the Christmas spirit.

The decorations blended in with the buildings and streetscapes, sparkling and shining, making it a pleasure to just walk around.

One of the most impressive features was the large Christmas tree, about 15 meters high, towering in front of the S.S. Columbia.

During the day, the colorful decorations on the tree looked great against the blue sky.

In the evening, the sky gradually changed color, and we were able to enjoy the combination of the sunset and the tree, which could only be seen for a short time.

Then, at night, the lights come on and it becomes all the more spectacular.

The atmosphere changes so much that it is hard to believe that the tree was seen in the daytime. I thought it was unique to this tree to be able to enjoy different charms at different times of the day.

The World of Anna and the Snow Queen

DisneySea has many fascinating attractions where you can enjoy the power and thrill of the Center of the Earth, Soarin’, Tower of Terror, and more.

Among them, the most memorable was the “Frozen Journey of Anna and Elsa,” the attraction of “Anna and the Snow Queen.

The world was so detailed that the moment I stepped into the streets of Arendelle, I almost forgot that I was in the real world.

Even the exteriors of the buildings, decorations, and accessories have been carefully recreated, and anyone who has seen a movie at least once will be excited to be in the space.　　　　　Just walking around the building made me feel as if I had stepped into a movie, and my friends and I were very excited.

As the story progressed on the boat, Elsa’s beautiful singing voice was especially impressive.

The film’s story was tightly condensed into its structure, with great scenes packed into a short amount of time.

The characters are so cute and detailed that it is very difficult to see them all in one sitting.

There were many times when I thought , “I wish I could have seen more of this scene,” and talking with my friends, I wanted to ride this attraction as many times as possible.

Believe!　〜Sea of Dreams

At night, “Believe! ~Sea of Dreams~” begins.

When the music begins to play, the dark Mediterranean Harbor is instantly brightened, drawing you in and making you forget that it was cold.

The show is a combination of water, lights, fireworks, and spectacular music, with characters appearing one after another.

It has a storyline, and through the stories of each character, it teaches us the importance of continuing to believe in our wishes.

Each time the scene switches, the view in front of you changes and you enter the world of that story.

Believe is a show that will impress you no matter how many times you see it.

The show looks completely different depending on where you look, and the power and characters are seen differently, so even if it is the same show, you will feel as if you are seeing it for the first time every time.

In addition to the power of the images, the music is also very impressive and stays in your ears long after the show is over.

And every time I return from DisneySea, I listen to Believe’s music in my earbuds, remembering the scenes of the day and basking in the afterglow.

Believe was like the end of a day at DisneySea, and I thought, “I can’t end it without seeing this.

How I felt at DisneySea at Christmas

The Christmas season at DisneySea is arguably the most festive event of the year.

The entire park was decorated in Christmas colors, and the decorations and music made it a place to get away from the usual routine.

When I left, I was sad because I had so much to look forward to, thinking, “Oh, it’s all over…” But at the same time I thought, “I want to come back soon.

That’s how much fun and enrichment we had.

I felt that Tokyo DisneySea is not just a place to play, but a magical place where visitors can be energized.

It reminds us of the excitement and emotion that we cannot feel in our busy daily lives.

The sparkling scenery and music of Christmas and the time spent with my loved ones were unforgettable memories. That is why, on the way home, I was able to look forward and say, “Let’s do it again tomorrow.

Tokyo DisneySea is truly a land of dreams for me, where I can visit again and again and still be impressed and energized in new ways.

We are contacting those who are planning to travel to Japan between December 2024 and January 2025.

Every year, more and more people are infected with that disease.

Influenza cases are on the rise.

Every year in December, influenza is one of the diseases that increase in number, and we have received news of a sharp increase in the number of cases.

This article was written on December 13, 2024.

The influenza pandemic is spreading nationwide, with an estimated 340,000-plus patients visiting medical facilities during the week ending March 8, nearly double the number of the previous week.

According to the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, the number of influenza patients reported from approximately 5,000 medical institutions nationwide during the week ending January 8 totaled 44,673, more than 20,000 more than the previous week.

From NHK NEWS WEB

Generally, the waiting period for influenza is said to be 1-4 days, so if you travel to Japan for 6 days, there is a possibility that you may develop the disease during your trip.

Also, please note that influenza is not an exclusively Japanese disease, so if you were infected before your trip, you may develop symptoms such as fever from the first day.

Hello.　April is the season of cherry blossoms in Japan.

Japanese people see them every year, and many people enjoy them all over Japan during the cherry blossom season because of the soothing effect they have on the heart.

The cherry blossom season is really short, about a week.

Rain and wind will cause the petals to fly away, leaving only the leaves.

We took this photo on April 7, 2024, so you can see what the road looks like.

The video is about 2 minutes and 45 seconds long.
