Foreign residents of Japan can access Mounjaro (tirzepatide) through our Shinjuku clinic two ways: fully online with Yamato cool delivery to your home, or in-person at our Shinjuku clinic. Same Harvard-trained physician, same transparent JPY pricing. No 6-month contract.
Both options access the same physician, same medication, same transparent pricing. Switch between them as you like — many residents start in-person and continue online.
Most foreign-resident-focused GLP-1 services in Japan route you through nurse-led online chats and prescription-in-a-box. Our model is different by design.
Every consultation is conducted by our Harvard-trained clinic director, not delegated to nurses or contract physicians. You know exactly who is prescribing your medication and can ask complex questions directly.
You can visit the clinic in Shinjuku for the first consultation — meet the physician face-to-face, ask questions in the same room. Continuing online after that is also fine. Most telehealth-only services don't offer this.
Buy 1 month, 3 months, or 6 months at a time — one purchase at a time. If you want to stop or switch, you simply don't reorder. No hidden auto-renewal, no cancellation friction, no bulk-purchase penalty.
Includes consultation, prescription, medication, injection guidance, nutrition advice. Cool-chain shipping (Yamato) charged separately at courier cost. Payment in JPY by Japanese credit card, cash, or bank transfer.

Why 自由診療 (jiyu shinryo — private, self-paid care)? In Japan, Mounjaro is currently only covered by 国民健康保険 / 健康保険 (National Health Insurance / Employees' Health Insurance) for type 2 diabetes. Weight-loss use is provided as private medical care with transparent flat fees. This is standard across all Japanese clinics offering GLP-1 for weight management — no clinic can bill NHI for this use.
Whether you're in central Tokyo, a Kansai suburb, or rural Hokkaido, delivery works.
Preferred by residents who want to meet the physician face-to-face — for the first consultation, or as ongoing check-ins.
Most residents book in-person for their first consultation to meet the physician, understand the medication, and get injection guidance hands-on. Follow-ups then move online for convenience.

No. Mounjaro is currently only NHI-covered for type 2 diabetes. Weight-loss use is provided as 自由診療 (jiyu shinryo — private, self-paid care) with transparent flat fees. Payment in JPY by Japanese credit card, cash, or bank transfer.
No. Consultations are conducted in English. All prescriptions, receipts, and follow-up communication are in English. Foreign residents whose Japanese ability is limited routinely use this service without issue. If you prefer, you can bring a translator to in-person visits or use real-time translation on video calls.
Yes. Our Shinjuku clinic is a 1-minute walk from Shinjuku-sanchome station. In-person visits allow same-day pickup of medication, or you can arrange Yamato cool delivery to your home afterwards. Many residents prefer in-person for the first consultation and switch to online for follow-ups.
You can purchase 1, 3, or 6-month supplies at a time. No contract commitment — you buy what you need. Most long-term residents use 3-month packages with online follow-up between visits. Dose adjustments are handled at each visit or during follow-up video calls.
Three main differences: (1) our consultations are physician-led by a Harvard-trained specialist, not routed through nurse-led telehealth chains; (2) we offer both online and in-person options, so you can meet the doctor face-to-face if preferred; (3) no 6-month contract — you buy medication as one-time purchases without ongoing commitment. Same Eli Lilly Mounjaro from the same authorized distributors.
Yes. Major Japanese and international credit cards accepted (Visa, Mastercard, JCB, American Express). Cash and Japanese bank transfer also available. All billing in JPY.
No problem. Just update your delivery address before the next order. Yamato delivers to all Japanese addresses (including remote islands, though transit time can be 2-3 days). If you move overseas, contact us before departure to discuss options.
Pickup at your nearest Yamato office is available — find the closest one here. Yamato's cool packages can also often be received by building managers if you're at work. We confirm the delivery setup during consultation.
Yes. The initial consultation covers eligibility assessment — no obligation to proceed. If you're not a good candidate for Mounjaro, we'll discuss alternatives. See also our BMI & eligibility guide for pre-consultation reading.
