Physician Assistant in Japan: read the median against a +27% outlook

The Japan national median for a physician assistant is ￥23,130,000 a year. Among 3 metros with observed data, pay runs from about ￥13,260,000 in Nagoya to ￥17,580,000 in Tokyo (1.3×).

Physician assistants examine, diagnose, and treat patients under a physician's supervision. Common screening skills include Diagnosis, Treatment, Prescribing, and EMR.

A modeled national band runs about ￥16,884,900–￥30,762,900 around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +27% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Japanese city.

Tokyo sits -24% vs the national median; Nagoya sits -43%. Relocating inside Japan for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.

Japan shows about 3.2% CPI in 2025. A physician assistant raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers.
