Specialists in Hakuba Ski Holidays
Medical clinic and hospital
The
only
English
spoken
medical
clinic
in
Hakuba
is
Shintani
clinic
(Ph
0261-
75-4177
)
.
It
is
open
8.30am
till
5pm
or
so
every
day
during
the
season
but
does
close
down
for
lunch
between
11.30
and
1.30.
On
weekends
it
generally
only
accepts
serious
cases
and
mountain
injuries-
it
won’t
see
if
you
have
a
runny
nose.
You
will
need
to
pay
for
it
even
if
you
have
insurance-
you
will
need
to
claim
it
once
you
get
back
home.
He
will
charge
a
hefty
fee
just
for
the
medical
report
for
the
insurance
so
be
cashed
up.
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.
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.

massage

an
Australian
run
