Recommended Clinics and Hospitals

This is a list of clinics and hospitals that have been recommended by current and former JET participants. Please note that not all doctors and receptionists will speak English, so if you find yourself in a situation where you require immediate care, talk to a PA! It is possible to request that a PA accompanies you to your appointment for the sake of translation, but this depends on their scheduling and how far in advance you notified them.

Note that the list below is a little bit outdated. Now, Yamagata's Conference Committee Members keep a Share Map. You can suggest contributions there.
