Booking Dialysis treatment
We will search for a dialysis facility at your travel destination and make a dialysis treatment reservation for you.
We can also help you with the reception at the dialysis facility.
Interpretation Services
We offer two types of interpretation services depending on your needs:
General Interpretation
For everyday communication, including hotel check-in, transportation, and general support during your trip.
For routine dialysis visits and standard procedures, general interpretation is usually sufficient.
Medical Interpretation
For hospital visits, doctor consultations, and situations requiring informed consent (IC).
Medical interpretation is recommended when unexpected situations occur, such as changes in condition during dialysis, emergencies, or when visiting other medical departments.
Medical interpretation requires specialized knowledge to accurately convey medical information and ensure clear, safe communication between patients and healthcare professionals, so patients can receive care with peace of mind.
Management of Physical condition
Support for monitoring your comfort and well-being during your trip.
We will check your body temperature, blood pressure, appetite, etc.,and support you to have a comfortable and enjoyable trip.
Arrangement of welfare vehicle

Wheelchair rental
We will arrange a car that is wheelchair accessible.

Our
Story
Life does not stop because of illness.
"Lastly, I want to revisit a place of memories. Can you accompany me on a trip? If a nurse accompanies me, I can go there without worry..." Several patients who were concerned about traveling due to chronic illness asked me to accompany them on their trips. I still regret that I couldn't help make that wish come true. I agree that people should not have their lives limited by illnesses.
Those experiences inspired me to establish Hyggeos Hokkaido. My mission is to help people receiving dialysis enjoy traveling safely and confidently, so they can create wonderful memories in Japan.
So, let's work together again to fulfill the patients' wishes, I think.
