Your doctor will determine whether or not you should stay at the hospital and how long, depending on your clinical condition. If your doctor instructs you to stay at the hospital, you normally go to the in-house consultation counter for hospitalization, where you talk with a counselor to decide when to start your stay and learn what items you have to prepare.

There are rooms with a single bed, two beds, four, six, etc., of which four and six beds are most common. To stay at a single or two-bed room, you will have to pay extra, unless the hospital/clinic decides this due to medical reasons. The extra fee varies among institutions, from about 2,000 yen to over 10,000 yen per day.
