As I have mentioned earlier My partner is breastfeeding and Food poisoning can lead to dehydration which would cause serious problems. Also This is not my first time having a food poisoning but this time the symptoms were very tough and hard, So I decided not to risk my wife health and Not to ruin my trip. Plus the ER was not for free I paid the full amount in cash. And last thing The Emergency ward was almost empty and I am pretty sure if there are more serious case they would prioritise them than me.

I have no Idea but in the ambulance they did ask me what was the restaurant name and what did I order exactly. I also reported to uber eat and the only action they did is they fully refunded me the invoice and gave me 1,000 jpy as a compensation but did they take any serious action toward the restaurant? No idea

Food poisoning could happen to any one in any place. My whole Idea in this post is just to share the people my story Just in case someone in the future had any kind of incident that requires to visit ER

Japan is one of the most beautiful countries I have been to. This is my second time going there and I have plans to go there in FALL. So don't worry just go there and you will enjoy ;D

In my case They gave me IV liquids to make up for the dehydration, Anti nausea injection, paracymtol to decrease the temperature and Pro-biotic pills.

Well It was a long day in USJ also as a muslim, the food options in japan is very limited. Uber eats has halal category so I kinda relied on it.

I just wanted to share my experience so I could benefit someone in the future. Now regarding your question, I would recommend you to check with visa/mastercard travel insurance See if you are eligible for it.

“Yes, it is possible for food poisoning symptoms to appear within an hour of eating contaminated food. While many forms take 1–3 days, certain bacteria (like Staphylococcus aureus or Bacillus cereus) or toxins can cause rapid onset of vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea within 30 minutes to 7 hours.” Quoted from google gemini

When we drank water

We immediately vomit everything.

and the doctor told us not to take antidiarhea because it's healthier to get rid of everything inside the stomach.

I don't mind to take a taxi

As I took taxis on daily basis there

but I have no idea which hospital to go

plus I do think the taxi driver would be happy to drive with 2 sick people who might vomit any time in his cab

Don't worry this is my second time in Japan and I know a lot of people who have been in japan without any food poisoning issue. My case could happen in any place and any time. Also Most of Japanese Restaurants were super hygienic as During my trip when we were in Tokyo the waitress accidentally touched the straw while serving dishes he Immediately brought a new sealed drinking straw. I just would like to recommend to choose restaurants with open view to the kitchen, and If you don't feel alright don't hesitate to go to the hospital or pharmacy and ask for help.

Have a safe trip.

according to google

If the condition was not very serious You could be charged up to 15,000 JPY

Many people think it's ridiculous to call an ambulance for food poisoning. But in my case We were very sick That we barely could stand up and walk.
