Providing total support means more than just the facilities and services related to studying and accommodation. It's the detailed planning for contingencies such as health care that is another characteristic of Yamasa. In the Yamasa II building we have an infirmary where students who feel ill can rest from classes and recuperate.

Located right next door to the Yamasa II building is Minami Hospital - so any ailment requiring medical attention can be quickly dealt with. As it is right next door, it is of course no problem for members of Yamasa's multilingual student services staff to accompany you to the hospital to ensure that language problems are avoided.

Health Insurance is usually another key concern of students. Yamasa assists all of the student visa holders to obtain subsidized Japanese National Health Insurance (JNHI), and student services staff are always available to assist with any paperwork concerns. The same assistance is available for students on short-term visas with travel insurance or portable insurance. Most overseas insurers will not be able to reimburse you for expenses if the receipts are in Japanese (which of course they will be), so Yamasa will be able to provide a certified translation to assist you. There is of course no charge for any of these services.
