For birth control pills, you can say "経口避妊薬" (けいこうひにんやく, "keikouhininyaku" in Japanese). The most common way to refer to birth control pills is "ピル" (piru). Note that only low-dosage pills are sold in Japan. You'll need a prescription. Check out this [http://www.survivingnjapan.com/2012/05/how-to-find-clinic-or-hospital-that.html useful guide] to finding a clinic that will prescribe for you.
La pilule contraceptive se dit 経口避妊薬(けいこうひにんやく / kei-koo-hi-nin-ya-ku) mais est plus souvent mentionnée en utilisant le mot ピル (pi-ru). A noter que seules les pilules micro-dosées sont vendues au Japon. Une prescription est nécessaire.  


In 2010, it was reported that "The mini-pill (ミニピル) has not been approved in Japan, and does not seem to be available except in online stores/pharmacies."<ref>[http://www.survivingnjapan.com/2010/12/guide-to-birth-control-pills-in-japan.html A Guide to Birth Control Pills in Japan]</ref>

Birth control is not covered by Japanese health insurance. Depending on your doctor and birth control brand, you can expect to pay between ¥2,000 – ¥3,000 for a one month supply of oral contraceptives (birth control pills). For copper IUDs, you can expect to pay ¥30,000-¥50,000. Mirena costs ¥80,000 and up.
La pilule contraceptive n'est pas remboursée par la sécurité sociale japonaise. Selon le médecin et la marque du contraceptif, le coût d'un mois de pilule contraceptive revient entre 2000¥ et 3000¥. Pour les DIU au cuivre, le coût est entre 30000¥ et 50000¥. Le DIU hormonal (Mirena) coûte 80000¥ ou plus.


==Emergency Contraception (Morning After Pill)==
==Contraception d'urgence (pilule du lendemain).==


'''Important Notes:''' The earlier you take emergency contraception, the more effectively it works. After unprotected sex, take EC '''as soon as possible'''. If you don't have access to EC, you can use oral contraceptives as EC, but remember the following: 1) Only some contraceptives work as EC (so confirm they work as EC) 2) Different contraceptives require different dosages to work as EC (so get the proper instructions) 3) You must only use the first 21 pills in 28-day packs and 4) You must also take the pills as soon as possible.
