Finding good English-speaking doctors in Tokyo is something that most of us require periodically, as we work and play in this vibrant and sometimes hectic city.

There are some listings of doctors and hospitals available on the Internet and through embassies and other sources. However, what most of us are looking for is some assurance that the places we are considering will provide the care that we really need in a way that we expect and feel comfortable.

A study conducted in 2013 by the MHLW (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) of foreign residents found that while the majority of people surveyed had an overall positive impression of the quality of healthcare in Japan two of the biggest concerns expressed by those interviewed were “English language fluency” and “bed-side manner”.

Tokyo (Haneda) International Airport Survey

HealthyTokyo surveyed three drugstores at the bustling Tokyo International Airport*, also known as Haneda Airport, to discover the consumer purchasing preferences of foreign visitors to Japan.

We assumed that visitors from Asian countries would have different preferences from those from the West when it comes to over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and the data supported this hypothesis.

Specifically, we asked these retailers to rank the five OTC drugs Asian visitors and Western visitors purchase most frequently, and then we examined the differences in consumer behavior.

Top five most purchased OTC drugs—Western visitors

1. Sleeping aids
2. Aspirin
3. Ibuprofen
4. Tylenol
5. Gastol

Top five most purchased OTC drugs—Asian visitors

1. Mentholated eyedrops
2. Roihi-Tsubokō
3. Nabolin
4. Alinamin
5. Pabron Gold

The most popular OTC drugs for Westerners are…

Finding an appropriate doctor in a foreign (especially non-English speaking) country is as important as finding a suitable house for you and your family.

H&R Group has listed medical facilities with English speaking doctors and medical staff in Tokyo to ease your mind.

English Speaking Doctors in Tokyo

Hospitals and clinics on their list range from “English friendly” locations where only some of the staff speak English, to clinics specializing in foreigners whose English speaking doctors studied abroad, or may be foreign themselves, and are accustomed to providing care to foreign patients. These specialized clinics often allow you to make appointments in advance with a specific doctor, a practice not usually available in large Japanese hospitals. It is best to start witt one of these clinics if you are seeking medical attention, and get a referral to a major hospital if required.

H&R Group provides careful, friendly, and thorough assistance for those seeking relocation services, permanent housing, office space, car-lease support and basically any service involved in having overseas employees move to Japan. H&R Group can also assist with outbound business when firms want to send Japan-based employees to other locations. Their offices are located in Tokyo, Nagoya & Kobe.

From the moment you set your sights on Japan, to the day when you first kick your feet up in your new Japan residence or office space, H&R Group is by your side.
