JEES Inbound Futai-Gakuso 유학생 보험

Most universities require it — even with NHI, you still pay 30% of medical bills out of pocket, and NHI does not include personal liability. JEES A-Type covers exactly that 30% gap plus ¥100 million liability. At ¥11,500 per year (~¥958/month), it is one of the cheapest meaningful additions you can make to your NHI coverage.

No. JEES Inbound Futai-Gakuso is a group contract sold only through JEES-affiliated schools (1,072+ Japanese universities, language schools, and graduate programs). If your school is not in the network, you will need to look at private travel/student insurance instead.

A-Type is the standard plan for students with NHI — ¥11,500 per year, reimburses your 30% medical co-pay. B-Type is for students staying under 3 months or without NHI — ¥1,860 per year, liability-only, no medical reimbursement. C-Type also targets non-NHI students but pays a flat ¥5,000/day during hospitalization instead of reimbursing actual costs (¥2,240/month).

Yes — and this is a major reason students choose it. The ¥100 million personal liability cover applies to cycling accidents in Japan, where serious bicycle-pedestrian collisions can lead to court-ordered damages of tens of millions of yen. Tokio Marine & Nichido handles settlement negotiations on your behalf for incidents in Japan.

Pay the 30% co-pay at the hospital and keep your receipt. Download the incident report form from the JEES website (jees.or.jp/gakkensai/inbound.htm), fill it in (English or Japanese), and email it to insclaim.futaigakuso@tmnf.jp. Tokio Marine & Nichido will respond in your chosen language and send you the documents needed for reimbursement.
