There is no need to worry about your safety while in Japan. Maybe in traffic you should and then mainly when you are already inside the ambulance. How is that?
As everything is done very carefully also the ambulance will make the ride to the hospital utterly prudently. Of course a strong siren is aboard which is never switched off. Even not at night in a totaly empty street. Over that the voice of the co-driver can be heard through a loudspeaker calling warnings for -might be- other traffic members. In front of every crossing the ambulance will brake and only when the entire crossing is empty it will cross over in walking pace, loudly giving thanks through the megaphone and apologizing for the derangement caused. From behind the windscreen an appropriate bow is made.
As in every big city Tokyo drivers are used to drive swiftly. And between the cars the ambulances clearly stand out. They drive so carefully that there remains only one thing to fear for: the patient's life.
