Essential reading for expats in Japan

I wish I'd read this book before my experiences with Japanese hospitals in the late eighties (the book was published in 1995). The front page contains emergency information and the Japanese vocabulary necessary for calling an ambulance. The rest of the book covers all aspects of health care, what to expect in Japanese hospitals and within the health care system, drugs and nutrition in Japan, exercise resources, and health-related lifestyle tips. There's even a chapter on dealing with death and dying in Japan. Extremely useful, with extensive listings of resources. This should be on the bookshelf of every expat living in Japan.

Essential for those who live in Japan

This book got me through pregnancy and labor with it's thoroughly researched and comprehensive advice on the Japanese medical system. Now I am relying on it to get my son through vaccinations and diseases. Hundreds of medical centers throughout Japan are listed, in both English and Japanese. If you are uneasy about seeing a doctor in Japan, this book takes your hand and guides you (even includes topical English-Japanese phrases).
