Travel insurance is not required for visitors traveling to Japan. However, due to the uncertainty of international travel amid the Covid-19 pandemic, Squaremouth recommends a comprehensive plan to cover any lost expenses due to a delay or cancellation of your travel plans.
Squaremouth also recommends insurance that covers medical emergencies with at least $50,000 Emergency Medical coverage and $100,000 Emergency Evacuation coverage. For travelers visiting remote areas of Japan, Squaremouth recommends at least $100,000 of Emergency Medical coverage and $250,000 of Emergency Evacuation coverage.
These comprehensive plans can include coverage for unforeseen illness or injuries during the trip and medical evacuation to get you to the nearest hospital or even home if a physician advises it. Many of these policies are designed to cover expenses for travelers who contract Covid, require hospital stays or treatment, as well as reimburse the cost of any related physician fees from illness or injuries.
Squaremouth also recommends Trip Cancellation coverage to receive reimbursement for any missed portion of your trip due to inclement weather, illness or injury, death to you or a family member, or employee layoff among others.
Included in Trip Cancellation coverage is Trip Interruption which provides reimbursement for food hotels, or other travel expenses to get travelers to their final destination.
If you don’t need coverage for your trip expenses, policies with Emergency Medical coverage tend to be more affordable without any cancellation benefits.
