Medical Expenses

Our medical expense coverage includes emergency medical expenses, inpatient and outpatient treatments for covered conditions. This includes hospitalization, surgery, ambulance services, diagnostic tests, consultations with registered doctors, prescribed medications, and hospital room and board. 

Please note that this policy does not cover medical bills arising from pre-existing conditions.

Emergency Evacuation

In the event of a Serious Injury or Illness where immediate treatment is necessary and suitable medical facilities are unavailable nearby, our coverage includes emergency evacuation organized by our designated assistance company. This evacuation will be conducted through medically necessary means to the nearest facility using the most cost-effective form of transportation capable of providing adequate medical care.

Repatriation

Repatriation is facilitated following the Emergency Evacuation as described in the preceding paragraph. If deemed medically necessary, the Company will arrange and cover the expenses for the insured person’s return to a medical facility in their Country of Origin. This repatriation can be accomplished via scheduled airline flight or any other suitable means of transportation if the original ticket is not valid for this purpose. It’s imperative that any unused portion of the ticket be surrendered to the Company. The decision regarding repatriation will be made jointly and exclusively by the attending physician and the Company.

Don’t let unexpected hurdles derail your travel plans. With our Trip Cancellation coverage, you’re protected against the loss of non-refundable deposits or increased travel expenses due to unforeseen circumstances.

Trip Interruption

Life can throw unexpected curveballs, but our Trip Interruption coverage ensures you’re never left stranded. If your trip is cut short due to reasons like illness, emergencies, or natural disasters, you can rest easy knowing you’ll be reimbursed for the unused portion of your travel expenses. Whether it’s returning home early or finding alternative accommodations, our coverage provides peace of mind so you can focus on enjoying your travels without worries.

Flight Delay

If your flight experiences delays due to factors such as adverse weather conditions, strikes, or technical issues outside your home country and beyond your control, this insurance provides coverage. You’re eligible for compensation for every full 6-hour delay, up to the limit specified in the policy. To qualify, the delay must exceed 6 hours, and it should not be due to your failure to reconfirm or check in on time. Additionally, your booking must be confirmed before any known issues arise. Ensure you have official documentation from the airline detailing the cause, date, time, and duration of the delay. Please note that this coverage excludes issues existing at the policy’s commencement or any problems caused by government authorities.

Baggage Delay

If your baggage goes temporarily missing upon arrival in eligible countries for at least 6 hours, this travel insurance steps in to cover emergency purchases of essential toiletries and clothing. Reimbursement is available up to a specified limit outlined in the Insurance Certificate. To make a claim, you’ll need to provide certification of the delay via an official “Baggage Irregularity Report” or a letter from the tour operator. Importantly, the delay should not be attributed to customs or government officials, and you must submit documentation, including original purchase receipts. It’s worth noting that claims cannot overlap with the “Baggage and Personal Effects” benefit, and coverage concludes upon your return home or reaching your final destination.

Lost Baggage

This section of the Policy covers indemnity for loss, breakage, or damage resulting directly from theft, robbery, burglary, accidents, or mishandling by carriers during the insured person’s journey. To be eligible for coverage, the loss must be reported to the local authorities or carriers within 24 hours of occurrence. The Company’s liability is limited as specified in the policy schedule, and reimbursement can be provided through payment, replacement, or repair, with certain limitations. However, this benefit does not cover various scenarios such as loss or damage due to delay, confiscation, wear and tear, or loss of specific items like cash, electronics, fragile articles, and more. Please refer to the policy for full details and exclusions.

Frequently Asked about Travel Insurance for Japan

While it’s not mandatory to buy travel insurance for Japan to visit the country, we highly recommend to have one to cover unexpected medical bills during your trip to Japan.

In addition to medical cover in Japan, a comprehensive travel insurance policy can provide valuable travel benefits, including coverage for trip cancellations. Traveling to Japan can be costly, encompassing expenses such as flight tickets, hotel bookings, and transportation onsite. Having a travel insurance coverage that allows you to claim nonrefundable costs in case of trip cancellations is a significant benefit to consider, offering financial protection and peace of mind for your travel investment.

While not mandatory for traveling to Japan, it’s strongly advised to consider the purchase of a travel insurance plan given the potential high costs of medical treatment in the country. Many insurance companies offer travel insurance specifically tailored for Japan, making it easier to find coverage suitable for your needs.

The cost of travel insurance to Japan varies based on the length of the trip and the level of coverage you choose.

LUMA Asia Pass offers a range of different options to cover your trip to Japan. The cost can start at $10 USD per day and go up to $28 USD per day for a week of travel. The travel insurance costs will depend on the specific plan, including the level of protection and the travel benefits you opt to include in your coverage. 

Certain nationalities must obtain a visa by applying at a Japanese embassy or consulate in their home country to travel to Japan. However, some citizens are eligible for visa-free travel to Japan for short-term visits. It’s advisable to contact the Japanese Embassy in your country to determine and fulfill the necessary requirements for your travel plans.

Japan Travel Tips

The currency in Japan is the Japanese Yen, abbreviated as JPY. The symbol used for the yen is “¥.”

Consider your own preferences when planning a trip to Japan. Each season offers unique attractions and weather conditions.

The most popular time to visit Japan is during spring (late March to early April) for the cherry blossom season “sakura”, attracting crowds from all over the world. However, prices for accommodation and transportation significantly increase during that hot season.

Some Japanese speak English, especially in urban areas or tourist spots. However, the level of English proficiency usually decreases in rural or remote areas.

Learn basic phrases in Japanese before your trip. You can also use translation apps to aid communication although bear in mind that translation can be inaccurate.

Be prepared for some language barrier challenges. However, don’t let this discourage you. Remember to keep polite and patient.

Tipping is not customary in Japan. Exceptional service is expected, and leaving a tip may be considered unusual or awkward.
