Accessibility before the itinerary

A tourist stay keeps the visit simple but locks the traveller out of public insurance and municipal services. Accessible rooms, step-free station routes and vehicle transfers are therefore private arrangements. We confirm each one in writing with the operator before dates are locked.

Reporting and approval rules

One named contact receives updates and nobody is added without the client's written say-so. We answer inquiries within two business days and record every change to the plan. A non-disclosure agreement can be signed before any detail moves.

Common situations

A visitor's stay is not covered by Japan's public care insurance, which follows the resident register. Medical access, accessibility and daily support are private arrangements from the start. The quote comes in writing before anything begins, and nothing is billed until you approve it.

Arranging medical access

A visitor is not enrolled in Japan's public medical insurance, so travel or private cover carries the cost. Clinics generally want a medical summary in Japanese before accepting a new patient. We prepare that document and the questions before arrival.

Accessibility and the itinerary

Step-free routes, accessible rooms and vehicle transfers have to be confirmed with each operator individually. One unconfirmed transfer can cancel a day. You get the confirmations and the unresolved items in one list before dates are fixed.

Who signs off

Named decision makers receive a written update after each step of the plan. Anything outside the agreed plan is proposed in writing and waits for approval. We do not improvise on someone else's behalf.

Discretion matters

Health and itinerary details move through one channel to named recipients only. We can work under a non-disclosure agreement, and nothing travels beyond the people the client names. We take no referral fees from hotels, clinics or providers.

How we help

The first consultation is 30 minutes and free. What follows is a written plan covering medical access, accessibility and reporting, with the fee agreed before work begins. Coordination with providers happens in Japanese and comes back to you in English.

Medical and care preparation

We build a Japanese-language medical summary and a medication list a clinic can act on. We also confirm which prescriptions are restricted in Japan before the client travels.

Accessible stay coordination

We confirm accessible rooms, step-free station routes and vehicle transfers directly with each operator. Every item is either confirmed in writing or listed as an open risk.

Family and advisor reporting

Updates go to named recipients on an agreed schedule, with a reply within two business days. Escalation rules name who is called first and who is called if that person cannot be reached.

What we do and what we don't

We coordinate

  • Discreet planning around health, mobility and accessibility needs
  • Medical access groundwork: clinics, interpreters and medication rules
  • Vetting stays, transport and experiences against real care needs
  • A single point of contact for the family and traveling party
  • Quiet coordination with hotels, providers and local contacts

We don't

  • Emergency response — urgent situations go to 119 and local emergency services
  • Medical diagnosis or treatment decisions
  • Hands-on nursing or care delivery — licensed providers do that
  • Functions that require a travel agency license, such as package arrangements
  • Guaranteeing clinical outcomes or facility acceptance

What we confirm in the first 30 minutes

  1. Who is traveling, when, and for how long
  2. Health, mobility, and privacy requirements
  3. What a successful stay looks like for the family
  4. Budget posture and decision process
  5. Whether our scope fits — and if not, who to ask instead

How It Actually Moves

From inquiry to stay

Nothing is committed until the plan, the fee and the confidentiality terms are agreed in writing. Five steps run between the first message and arrival. A non-disclosure agreement can be signed before the second one.

01

One inquiry channel

The engagement starts through a single contact route and we reply within two business days. We confirm who the client is and who is authorized to speak for them. Everyone outside that list is excluded from then on.

02

Confidentiality before detail

Before any health or itinerary detail is shared, we confirm the work sits inside what we do. We provide no diagnosis, no emergency response and no hands-on care. A non-disclosure agreement is signed at this point where the client requires one.

03

The written plan

You receive one document listing what we will do, the fee, the reporting schedule and the escalation rules. Nothing is billed until the client or the authorized adviser approves it. Later changes are proposed in the same written form.

04

Pre-arrival preparation

The Japanese-language medical summary, the medication list and the accessibility confirmations are finished before departure. Restricted prescriptions are identified while there is still time to substitute. If the stay is built around treatment, Japan's Visa for Medical Stay runs 90 days to one year through a registered guarantor.

05

Coordination during the stay

Reporting runs on the agreed schedule to the named recipients. Any change is proposed in writing and recorded once approved. On-site presence is centred on Kanagawa and assessed case by case elsewhere.

How it works

01

Tell us the dates, the locations and who is authorized to decide for the client.

02

We say what is feasible and what falls outside what we do, including diagnosis and emergency response.

03

You receive the plan and the fee in writing, and nothing is billed until you approve them.

Example cases

Each stay is quoted individually and the fee is agreed in writing first. These three patterns show the kind of coordination involved.

A family office stay

A family office arranges a two-month stay in Tokyo and Kyoto for an older client with mobility needs. We confirm accessible rooms and step-free routes with each operator in writing. The adviser receives a written update after each step and approves any change before it happens.

A multi-generation trip

One member needs daily support, and the family does not want the whole itinerary built around it. We fix the appointment windows and rest periods first, then fit the rest of the plan around them. Hands-on care is delivered by licensed providers, never by us.

A recovery-oriented stay

A client planning a quiet recovery stay needs a clinic that will accept them and a medication supply that does not break. We prepare the Japanese medical summary and confirm which prescriptions are restricted here. Emergencies still go to 119 and local emergency services, not to us.

Engagement approach

The first consultation is 30 minutes and free. Premium support is then quoted individually, with the fee in writing before work starts. We take no referral fees from hotels, clinics or providers.

  • A free 30-minute consultation to confirm fit
  • A written project plan and quote before any paid work
  • Ongoing concierge coordination during the stay when appropriate

Frequently asked questions

How is confidentiality handled?

Information flows through one agreed channel, only to people the client or authorized representative has named. We can work under a non-disclosure agreement, and sensitive details are not shared beyond the agreed plan.

Do you provide travel agency services?

No. Package arrangements require a travel agency licence, which we do not hold. We coordinate care, medical access and accessibility, and we can prepare the questions for travel providers.

Can you guarantee treatment by a specific hospital or specialist?

No. Medical institutions decide their own acceptance. What we do is prepare the groundwork: a Japanese-language medical summary, the questions and the coordination, so the conversation with providers goes as smoothly as possible.

Can you support advisors or family offices?

Yes. We can work with an authorized representative once the client has named that person in writing. Updates then go to them and to nobody else.

What languages do you work in?

English and Japanese. Coordination with local providers generally happens in Japanese, with reporting back in English.

Does a long stay give access to Japan's public care insurance?

Not on a tourist stay, because public insurance and municipal services follow the resident register. Address registration becomes an obligation once a stay passes the three-month mark, and the insurance and pension enrolment that follows comes with it. For a shorter visit, everything is arranged privately.

Is pricing fixed?

No. The quote follows the free first consultation and arrives in writing. Nothing is billed until you approve it.
