The Reality of Dialysis Travel

Getting dialysis in Japan requires
more steps than most people expect.

Feeling like it might be complicated? That instinct is correct.
Here is what the process actually looks like when you go it alone.

1
PHASE 1  —  Before You Begin
Clarify Your Requirements

Confirm your dialysis type, schedule, and parameters in writing. Review your travel insurance for overseas medical coverage. Check passport validity.

2
PHASE 2  —  10–12 Weeks Out
Design the Itinerary

Decide which cities to visit and build dialysis sessions into your travel calendar. Calculate how many clinics you'll need to contact for each location.

3
PHASE 3  —  8–12 Weeks Out  ·  Where most people get stuck
Contact the Clinics

Reach out to 2–3 clinics per city to confirm availability, cost, and required documents.

Why this is the hardest step
  • Most Japanese clinics communicate in Japanese only
  • Replies can take 1–2 weeks — sometimes longer
  • No reply means starting over with another clinic (3–6 rounds is common)
  • Medical terminology must be translated and reformatted to Japanese clinical standards
4
PHASE 4  —  After Confirmation
Confirm Booking & Submit Documents

Receive written confirmation and share it with your home physician. Only then book flights and accommodation.

5
PHASE 5  —  Before Departure
Prepare Medical Documents

Gather your dialysis summary, recent blood work, medication list, and a referral letter from your nephrologist — ideally in both English and Japanese.

6
PHASE 6  —  1–2 Weeks Before
Final Pre-Travel Check

Reconfirm all clinics. Prepare an emergency contact card. Save clinic locations as offline maps in case connectivity is limited.

7
PHASE 7  —  During Your Trip
Day-of Logistics

Arrive 15–30 minutes early for your first session. Carry your documents every time. Note any changes to your treatment to report to your home clinic after returning.

All of this is handled by Taka.

All you need is the desire to travel — and one message to get started.

Why Travelers Trust Our Coordination

Every dialysis journey is different.

Some travelers stay in one city. Others move between destinations, hotels, and treatment schedules.

Our role is to coordinate the details so you can focus on the experience of being in Japan.

From treatment scheduling and provider communication to itinerary planning and ongoing support, every recommendation is tailored to your trip.

Because successful travel isn’t simply about receiving dialysis.

It’s about arriving in Japan knowing the important details have already been considered.

Flexible itinerary support

Dialysis travelers deserve clear information — not just hope.

Taka started RSA Hub after seeing how many international visitors quietly abandoned plans to travel Japan — not because travel was impossible, but because no one had shown them a realistic path forward.

That didn't have to be the case. Japan is reachable for dialysis travelers. The process, when laid out clearly, is manageable. RSA Hub exists to bridge that gap — by providing honest, practical information that helps people understand what is genuinely possible for their specific situation.

Dialysis travelers deserve the same opportunity to experience Japan as anyone else. They simply need the right support to navigate the planning process with confidence.
