"You for an ambulance by dialing 119. Tokyo is a huge city so I cannot give a recommendation on the best hospitals, as there are a lot of hospitals to choose from and they vary in their care and speciality. I would advise someone to find a hospital that provides English support if they are not comfortable communicating solely in Japanese," explained one expat living in Tokyo, Japan.

"Emergency services in Japan are highly efficient and reliable. In the event of an emergency, the best way to call for an ambulance is to dial the emergency number 119. This number is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is free of charge.
