dizzy 0 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 apparently, most japanese insurance companies do not differentiate between "injury insurance" 傷害保険 and "mountain climbing insurance" 山岳保険. "mountain climbing insurance" seems to be just a euphemism. u have to look at the fine print of each policy at each company you're interested in. what a pain. and it's in japanese. if anyone knows any good policies or insurance companies, pls PM me. looking for a policy that will cover me year-round, cover rescue, heli, transport from mt. to hospital, daily hosp. fees, surgery; coverage of rescuer(s) and their stay. yearly premium budget between 5-15,000 yen. anything else to consider when looking for a good policy, please add. cheers Link to post Share on other sites

dizzy 0 Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 cheers, sock monkey. most of the people i know at IAC are alpinists/rock climbers. looking for something more specific that will cover a wide range of avalanche/winter back country excursions. cheers Link to post Share on other sites
sock_monkey 0 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 you should talk to Evergreen and ask how they arrange for the insurance for their tour participants Link to post Share on other sites

soulboy 0 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I checked the policy on this website: http://kshj.co.jp/ And it doesnt look like it covers you for what would normally be covered by Japanese national heath insurrance. Anyone know of any places which will cover you for the entire hospital bill ? I have private health insurrance and it doesnt cover snowboarding. Link to post Share on other sites
soulboy 0 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Also after emailing them they said in Japanese "We dont have insurrance for foreigners" Make of that what you will. Link to post Share on other sites
