What is National Health Insurance?
All international students who reside in Japan for more than 3 months (and who hold a Resident Card) must sign up for the National Health Insurance (NHI) plan.NHI is important because whenever you receive medical treatment for any illness or injury.
Basically, 70% of the cost will be automatically covered by NHI, so you need to pay only 30% at the hospital/clinic counter.
Please carry your NHI card with you at all times. (You need to apply it after your arrival at the local city hall when you register yourself there.)
