Find, request, get care.

  1. Find

    Browse foreigner-friendly clinics by specialty, ward, and languages spoken, or just ask the AI assistant.

  2. Request

    Send your request in your language, right in Curae. It reaches the clinic in Japanese, and they confirm your appointment. No phone calls.

  3. Get care

    Go to your visit with everything confirmed, the clinic, the time, and the access details.

You send one request in your language. Curae translates it into Japanese and delivers it straight to the clinic, so you never make the phone call and no agency sits in between. Free for patients, no account needed.

The language barrier keeps people from care.

Millions of residents can reach the front door of Japanese healthcare but not through it. Finding a clinic that will actually see you in your language, booking by phone, and explaining what you need are all hard when you are not fluent.

Workers & families

Technical interns and specified-skilled workers who need care but cannot make the call, read the intake form, or take a weekday off easily.

English-first residents

International families, students, and professionals who speak English but are unsure a clinic really handles it, and want the visit to go smoothly for children, pregnancy, or mental health.

Trust you can check.

Every listing is built by hand from the clinic's own official information, never scraped, and marked “checked” only after we confirm by phone that they'll see you in your language. Details can change, so we tell you to confirm before you go.

Reviews cover the service side only: wait time, staff, language support. Not treatment outcomes.

Free for patients. We collect only what's needed to book and send it only to the clinic you chose, never to any other third party, and you can ask us to delete it anytime. Clinics pay a flat listing fee, never per booking.

Run a clinic? Get discovered by international patients.

A flat-fee bilingual listing puts your clinic in the directory and in AI assistant recommendations, with booking requests delivered straight to your inbox.

Questions people ask first.

Are you a hospital or clinic?+

No. We are a clinic directory and booking-request service. We are not a medical provider and do not diagnose or give medical advice.

How does booking work?+

You send one request in your language, right in the app. Curae translates it into Japanese and delivers it straight to the clinic, who confirm the appointment; the confirmation comes back to you here.

What does it cost?+

Nothing, Curae is free for patients. You pay the clinic directly for your care, as usual. Clinics can pay a flat monthly fee to be listed.

Is my information safe?+

We only collect what is needed to arrange your visit, and only after you opt in. You do not need to share detailed symptoms to make a request.

Which areas do you cover?+

Curae currently lists clinics in 6 cities across Japan, with more languages and areas on the way.
