"Tokyo provides a wide range of healthcare services, with high-quality medical care available from both private and public facilities. Private facilities tend to offer the latest in medical technologies and treatments, while public facilities offer more affordable care for those without insurance or with budget limitations. In addition, there is a wide range of preventative and community health services available, including mental health services, elderly care, and health education. Tokyo also boasts a diverse range of traditional forms of healing and therapy, such as shiatsu, acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal medicine," explained one expat living in Tokyo, Japan.
