Health Insurance
All international students who stay in Japan over 3 months are required to enroll in National Health Insurance (NHI). NHI covers 70% of medical expenses and an international student is responsible for the rest, 30% of the expense. NHI premium per month is around 2,000 yen. NHI does not cover anything else and medical expenses solely can be expensive, therefore we require all exchange students to purchase Study Abroad health (sickness) / accident insurance before they leave for Japan. *The National Health Insurance does not cover general health examination, immunization, plastic surgery, etc.
Other
A support service for international students was introduced in 2012. In this service, Japanese students provide international students with assistance in school as well as daily life. When international students have problems (for example, filling out forms in Japanese or having difficulty when registering for a course), Japanese students help them.
