Seeking Resources for Medical Clinics and Health Insurance Coverage in Kyoto

Hi everyone,

I’m a foreign student who will soon be living in Kyoto and was wondering if anyone knows of a good website or guide that explains how to go to the doctor or clinics here.
Specifically, I’m looking for information about:
• Clinics or services that are covered by national health insurance
• What kinds of treatments or services are typically covered under insurance
• How to find English-speaking doctors or clinics
• Whether there are places that offer translation support for medical appointments

I’ve found some basic information here and there, but nothing very detailed. Maybe I missed something since my Japanese sucks. If anyone knows a good resource, or has personal tips or experiences to share, I’d really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!
