    In this paper the author discusses non-adiabatic transition problems of three-level systems from the viewpoint of the exact WKB analysis. Using some concrete examples, he points out that a bifurcation phenomenon of Stokes curves around a double turning point plays an important role in computing the transition probabilities. After making an explicit and detailed analysis of such a bifurcation phenomenon, he examines the influence of virtual turning points and new Stokes curves, which are peculiar to multi-level systems, upon transition probabilities.
