The best way to travel is to do so with a peace of mind, and that means getting insurance to cover your trip to a foreign country or city. The new Tokyo Starter Kit is that and more, as it also includes transport passes, a city guide app, plus medical and emergency support services.
For ¥3,000 (including tax), the Tokyo Starter Kit features a comprehensive three-day travel medical insurance – and don’t worry if you don’t speak a word of Japanese. This package comes with a call service that will not only refer you to the best hospital or medical help within your vicinity, but also provide over-the-phone translation so that you can better communicate with the medical professionals.

To make your Tokyo trip more convenient, the Tokyo Starter Kit is bundled with a 72-hour Tokyo Subway ticket and a one-day Toei Bus pass. There’s also an app loaded with the top restaurants and things to do in the city, curated by Time Out Tokyo. What’s more, through the app, you’ll get emergency notifications in case of a natural disaster, complete with a map highlighting the various evacuation points near you.
The Tokyo Starter Kit is available for purchase at the Ueno-Okachimachi Station tourist information center as well as the station master’s offices at Tochomae Station , Shinjuku-Nishiguchi Station , Daimon Station and Shimbashi Station from 8am to 10pm daily.
