Numbers to memorise

Emergency calls in Japan are free and work from payphones too.

  • 110 — police, for accidents and theft
  • 119 — fire and ambulance
  • #9910 — road hazard reports
  • Your rental company's 24-hour line — save it in your phone

Apps to install before you go

Signal can drop in the mountains, so install offline maps and disaster apps in advance.

  • The government's disaster app for visitors, with multilingual alerts
  • The JMA rain radar and warnings page
  • JARTIC for congestion and road closures
  • Offline Google Maps areas

Medical care and language help

Every prefecture publishes a list of clinics that can handle foreign languages, searchable on the tourism board's site. Your travel insurer's assistance line can usually arrange interpretation too.

  • Check that your travel insurance covers driving and overseas treatment
  • Carry a passport copy and your policy number
