Since the pandemic, there has been an increase in concerns over receiving proper medical care or expressing one's condition in a foreign country.

This travel medical insurance can support these difficulties for international travelers.
6 Benefits of the Hoshino Resorts Travel Medical Insurance
Hoshino Resorts Travel Medical Insurance can provide international travelers with 6 benefits shown above. In case of emergency, guests can contact a 24/7 language support*² call center that provides information about nearby hospitals. Medical service at the hospital is guaranteed and there will be no payment required at the hospital on behalf so the guests do not have to worry about preparing and bringing cash.
In order to use this medical insurance, visitors to Japan must make reservations for Hoshino Resorts Group properties through the official booking website. The insurance covers the period from the check-in date to the check-out date with no additional charge. The main indemnities provided by Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Co., Ltd. include medical expense compensation up to one million yen per injury or disease.
