PRE-TRAVEL CHECKUP
Pre-Departure Health Checks
We carry out the health checks required before an overseas posting or a long stay. Check which items are required and bring the form.
- Open 7 days, 9:00–19:00
- 1 min from Asakusa Station
- English certificates
Overview
What a pre-departure health check has to contain depends on who is asking. Sometimes it is company policy, sometimes the destination country sets it, sometimes a school does. Two checks with the same name are rarely the same check.
So we read the list of required items first and build the visit around it. Going through a general screening and then finding an item missing means doing it again before you leave.
What we offer
- A check matched to the required itemsBring the form
- Health certificate in EnglishIncluding your own required format
- Combined with vaccinationsBoth on the same day
- Company bookingsAsk about scheduling several people

Please Note
Some tests are sent to an outside laboratory, so results take a few days. If you are working to a deadline, come to us early. The cost depends on which items are required.
How It Works
Book your visit
Use the form at the bottom of this page or call us. Telling us your destination and departure date in advance makes your visit faster.
Consultation
We go over your destination, your schedule and your vaccination history, then explain which vaccines you need, how many doses and what it costs.
Vaccination
We observe you in the clinic afterwards and explain how to spend the rest of the day, along with side effects that can occur and what to do about them.
Next dose & certificate
If you need more than one dose we book the next date on the spot. Tell us if you need a certificate.
What to bring
- Photo ID
- Your vaccination record, if you have one (a Boshi Kenko Techo, or records from your home country)
- Any form your school or employer has asked us to complete
- Your travel itinerary or departure date
Before You Book
Does health insurance cover this?
Travel vaccinations are not covered by Japanese health insurance and are paid out of pocket. We explain the cost during your consultation.
I am leaving soon. Is there still time?
We work with the time you have. Even for vaccines that need several doses, there is often a way to fit in the doses that count most before you go. If we cannot finish in time, we explain what to watch for at your destination and what to do if you fall ill there.
Can I be vaccinated on the day I come in?
Yes, for vaccines we have in stock. Some have to be ordered in, so please call ahead if you already know what you need.
I am worried about side effects. What can happen?
Pain, redness or swelling where you were injected, along with fever, are the most common. We explain what can happen and what to do about it before you are vaccinated, and we observe you in the clinic afterwards.
