If you do get it, you will likely only need it for cancellations and baggage.
Health care there is VERY cheap.
My gf had a very bad reaction to a mosquito bite (whole thigh swelled up) and we had a friend in Osaka take us to the hospital.
Seeing a dermatologist and getting 2 prescription meds only cost us $72 Canadian. That being said, they do not have 24hr emergency rooms like we do. VERY few are 24hr.
Personally I got insurance purely for baggage and cancellations, was not worried about health at all
