Dialysis in Nagano: frequently asked questions

How does arranging dialysis in Nagano work?

Choose a clinic that accepts international patients, send a coordination request with your dialysis details and preferred dates, and we coordinate with the clinic. The clinic you select is your preferred clinic: availability is not guaranteed, and we may suggest an alternative clinic if necessary. 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 our coordination for an overseas visitor — clinic and schedule coordination with translation support, and letting you know which documents the clinic requires — a coordinated session usually comes to about ¥100,000–150,000. Additional optional fees may occasionally apply depending on the clinic and treatment details. We give you a quote for your dates before you commit.

Can I get HDF or night dialysis in Nagano?

Yes — use the HDF and night-dialysis filters above to see the clinics in Nagano that offer them.

Do the staff speak English?

None of the 3 facilities listed for Nagano currently reports English-language support, so the clinic is contacted in Japanese. We handle that, with translation support as needed.

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 send a request?

Please submit your coordination request at least 45 days before your first preferred treatment date. This allows time for us to coordinate with the clinic and for the clinic to review availability, treatment requirements and medical information before accepting a patient. Submitting a request does not guarantee availability or acceptance.
