Examinations
One page per test, built from Japan's own screening directives and from published medical literature — including the limits of each test, not only what it can find.
More examinations are being added.
People do not usually go looking for "a health checkup". They go looking for an answer to something specific — whether a lump would show up, whether a stomach can be examined without an X-ray, whether a scan can see a problem before it causes symptoms.
This site works the same way. Each examination has its own page: what it detects, who Japan offers it to and how often, what it cannot settle, and where the rules come from. Every factual claim is traced back to a primary source you can open yourself.
Where to go
Facilities listed from public certification data, with the languages each one supports. No clinic pays to appear here, and nothing is ranked "best" — the order is alphabetical.
Questions
Short answers on how this site is put together and what the terms on a Japanese clinic's price list actually mean.
How this site works
- No clinic pays to be listed or ranked here.
- No patient testimonials, and no before/after claims.
- Nothing here tells you whether to have an examination. That depends on your own history and belongs with a doctor.
- Some links (lodging, tours, insurance) are affiliate links — full policy coming soon.
