About Health Insurance Insurance
If you come to Japan with a visitor or short-term visa, you cannot join the National Health Insurance in Japan. In those cases we advise you to get a travel insurance in your home country.
About Visa
The allowed time to stay in Japan depends on the visa agreement with your home country. Most of the time you are allowed to stay for 90 days and it might also be able to apply for extension. Please consult the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan for a list with the period of stay for each country.
About International Calls
The easiest way to contact your family is using Skype. If it is not possible to use Skype there are Pre-Paid cards than specialize in international calls. One company that offers this service is Brastel.

During spring the temperature in Fukuoka is between 14°C in March and 24°C in May. The night can still get chilly, so it is advised to prepare accordingly.
