Now Japan, you’ll get anything you need within two weeks
That’s definitely an exaggeration, particularly for elective or even preventitive things in busy areas. That said, I’ve never waited long for anything urgent.
Possibly. It’s rather complex in terms of availability in the region, number who need/want it, and urgency based on diagnosis. I currently live quite rural, but can be in Sendai in about an hour. I had a medical scare from a routine test and had appointments to get checked out basically a couple business days later. For more cosmetic stuff, I’ve waited a couple weeks (though that was back in Tokyo)

Atleast for my partner’s experience that’s pretty much accurate.
But they are in a rural area so that might be the reason why?
