- How does booking dialysis in Hiroshima work?
- Choose a clinic that accepts international patients, send a request with your dialysis details and preferred dates, and our concierge contacts the facility and confirms your appointment. Payment is completed through this site once your appointment is confirmed; only extras provided locally (such as additional medication prescribed during your visit) are paid at the clinic.
- What documents do I need?
- A referral letter from your doctor and recent infection test results (HBs antigen, HCV antibody, HIV, within 3 months). We tell you exactly what the clinic requires; you collect the documents with your doctor and upload them with your request. Communication with the clinic goes through our automatically translated chat.
- How much does dialysis cost for travellers in Japan?
- There are two parts. The clinic's own self-pay fee is typically around ¥30,000–80,000 per session, depending on the facility and treatment (HD or HDF). With full arrangement for an overseas visitor — interpretation, documents, transfers and coordination — an all-inclusive arranged session usually comes to about ¥100,000–150,000. We give you a clear, all-in quote for your dates before you commit.
- Can I get HDF or night dialysis in Hiroshima?
- Yes — use the HDF and night-dialysis filters above to see the clinics in Hiroshima that offer them.
- Do the staff speak English?
- Each clinic lists its supported languages. Our concierge communicates with you in English (more languages soon) and handles the Japanese coordination on your behalf.
- Are dialysis clinics open on Sundays?
- Many dialysis clinics in Japan are closed on Sundays. Check each clinic's treatment days when planning your itinerary and preferred dialysis dates.
- How far in advance should I book?
- Send your booking inquiry at least one month before your preferred dialysis date. Many clinics need about two weeks to review your medical documents and confirm they can accept you, and the appointment is only confirmed after that review. Booking early does not guarantee availability or acceptance — it depends on the clinic's schedule, requirements and final medical assessment.
