Medical clinic and hospital

There are 2 English spoken medical clinics in Hakuba: 1 . Shintani clinic (Ph 0261-75-4177 ) . It is open 8.30am till 5pm everyday except for Mondays and Thursdays (closed) but does close down for lunch between 11.30 and 1.30. You will need to pay for it even if you have insurance- you will need to claim it once you get back home. They have x rays, CT, Ultrasound machines and they do have an orthopaedic surgeon who is great with knee injures and other ski related type injuries. From personal experience this clinic is highly recommended 2 . Hakuba International Clinic (Ph 0261-85-2264) newly opened in 2023, and is open 10.00-17.00. It also has an orthopaedic surgeon. If you have a life threatening injury it is better to get an ambulance (Ph 119) and get straight to either the Omachi General hospital (40 mins by car), the Azumi Hospital (1 hr), or the Matsumoto Hospital (90 mins by car). Don’t count on getting pain killers from anyone until you get to a hospital.
