Mounjaro in Japan · Access Guide
A practical guide for foreign residents and visitors: where the process starts, what information to prepare, and who decides whether Mounjaro can be prescribed.
The process for getting Mounjaro in Japan
The patient journey is consultation-first. VisaSHOGUN helps with the English booking route; the clinic handles the appointment, medical assessment, prescription and treatment.
Choose in-person or online consultation
In-person care is recommended when you need language support. Online consultation is available, but live English telephone support is not guaranteed and a translation app may be required.
Submit one consultation request
Share your contact details, preferred dates and the pre-consultation information requested by the clinic. You can provide up to three preferred appointment times.
Wait for the clinic’s confirmation
SKIN LAB CLINIC reviews requests during clinic hours. It confirms an available time or sends alternative dates if your preferences are unavailable.
Complete the medical consultation
The physician reviews your health information and decides whether treatment is appropriate. VisaSHOGUN does not diagnose, prescribe or select a dose.
Confirm prescription, cost and receiving method
If the physician prescribes treatment, the clinic confirms the applicable dose, charges and how the medicine will be received. Delivery availability and conditions must be confirmed for the individual case.
In-person or online: which route should you choose?
| Route | Best suited for | Important to know |
|---|---|---|
| In person — Gotanda, Tokyo | Patients who want face-to-face care or need more language support | Your appointment must be confirmed before visiting the clinic. |

Information to prepare before requesting an appointment
The booking form asks for the information the clinic requested for pre-consultation review:
- Name, date of birth and contact details
- Height and weight
- Medication and food allergies
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding status, where applicable
- Current medicines
- Requested dose, if you have one in mind
- Medical and surgical history
- Preferred consultation format and appointment times
Can tourists and non-residents request Mounjaro?
Yes. SKIN LAB CLINIC has confirmed that non-resident foreign visitors can request a consultation. That does not guarantee a prescription, same-day treatment or delivery. The clinic must review the request and confirm the appropriate route.
Prescription and regulatory position in Japan
Mounjaro is a prescription medicine in Japan. Its approved indication in Japan is type 2 diabetes. When a clinic discusses its use for weight management, that is outside the approved Japanese indication and must be handled as private, non-insured care under a physician’s medical judgment.
Do not purchase or use prescription medicine through an unverified seller or without medical supervision. Tell the physician about allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, current medicines and relevant medical history.
Check price before you book
Confirmed international-patient medication prices currently start at ¥22,500 for a one-month supply of four 2.5 mg pens. Consultation, delivery and other route-specific charges have not been published to VisaSHOGUN as one fixed amount, so the clinic should confirm every applicable charge before payment.
