Insurance

Participants to the International Student Program must join the Japanese National Health Insurance Scheme, which automatically covers 70% of most medical/dental expenses incurred in Japan. The premium depends on an individual's income and place of residence, but the figure for students living in Tokyo is normally set around 14,400 yen per year. Arrangements for National Health Insurance, along with the mandatory “Resident Registration”, will be made shortly after arrival as part of overall orientations.

Mandatory Enrollment in Comprehensive Student Insurance

All exchange students will be mandatorily enrolled in the "Comprehensive Insurance for Students Lives Coupled with "Gakkensai" For International Students",  in addition to the standard Gakkensai (Personal Accident Insurance for Students Pursuing Education and Research).

This comprehensive insurance is designed to cover not only accidents during university activities but also medical expenses for illness and injury in daily life, as well as personal liability (e.g., compensation for property damage or injury to others). The personal liability coverage also includes an out-of-court settlement negotiation service.

1 semester: 9,060 yen
2 semester: 12,500 yen
