Browse foreigner-friendly clinics by specialty, ward, and languages spoken — or just ask the AI assistant.
Request
Send one request in your language. Our team contacts the clinic in Japanese and confirms your appointment.
Get care
Go to your visit with everything confirmed — the clinic, the time, and the access details.
Booking requests are handled by real people today. That's on purpose — we confirm with the clinic directly and get back to you fast.
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.

Built around how people actually live here.
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.
We mark a clinic “checked” only after we confirm by phone that they'll see you in your language — a self-reported badge is never taken at face value.
Reviews cover the service side only: wait time, staff, language support. Not treatment outcomes.
Free for patients. Clinics pay a flat monthly listing fee — never per booking — and payment never changes the facts we list.
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.
List your clinicQuestions 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. Our team contacts the clinic in Japanese, confirms the appointment, and gets back to you with the details.
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?+
Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe today — with more languages and areas on the way.
