Japan Hakone Tours

• Japan: Visa, Mastercard, and JCB are widely accepted in urban areas. ATMs at post offices, 7-Eleven stores, and major banks usually accept international cards.
• China: UnionPay is the most common network. Visa and Mastercard are accepted in major hotels, malls, and international stores, but not everywhere. Carrying cash or using mobile payments is recommended for convenience.

All our partnered hospitals are formal medical institutions. The medications and medical devices they use are uniformly approved by China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), complying with national medical safety standards. Many of the medical supplies are sourced from well-known domestic and international manufacturers. For customers with specific requirements for imported products, we can assist in communicating with the hospital to meet your needs as much as possible.

We recommend planning ahead to ensure a smooth experience. For specialist treatments and surgical procedures, it is advisable to plan 3–6 months in advance, allowing sufficient time for medical consultations, hospital appointment scheduling and travel arrangement. For basic health screenings, a shorter planning period of 4–6 weeks is usually sufficient. The standard planning process is: initial consultation → hospital matching → travel arrangement → departure.

Yes. Travel insurance is highly recommended for both Japan and China, covering medical emergencies, trip cancellations, lost belongings, and emergency evacuation.

We will always try to accommodate special requests. Please inform us at the time of booking if you have medical needs, dietary requirements, mobility concerns or other important details.

For most short-term medical services such as health screenings and simple elective procedures, a regular tourist visa is sufficient. A medical visa (M visa) is only required if you need to stay in China for an extended period for continuous treatment. Three Bears will provide professional guidance on visa types based on your specific treatment plan and assist you in preparing the necessary materials for the visa application process

Yes, we welcome children of all ages to join our tours.
For families travelling with younger children, we recommend choosing a customised itinerary, which offers greater flexibility in pacing, attractions and daily schedules—ensuring a more relaxed and enjoyable experience for both parents and children.

• Japan: No mandatory vaccines for most travelers, but routine vaccinations (like influenza and tetanus) are recommended. Consult your doctor before traveling.
• China: Routine vaccinations are recommended. Some regions may require additional vaccines (hepatitis A, typhoid). Check official sources or your healthcare provider for updated guidance.
