  • Dr. Koto Clinic Filming Site is not an actual medical facility but a preserved TV set in Okinawa from the popular Japanese drama series “Dr. Koto Shinryojo.” This site functions as a tourist attraction rather than a functioning healthcare provider. Visitors pay a small entrance fee (300 yen) to explore the filming location where the beloved medical drama was shot. The building has been maintained for approximately 15 years since the show aired. The site includes the clinic structure, surrounding beach area, and even a boat featured in the series. Tourists enjoy the nostalgic experience of walking through the same spaces seen in the drama, including tatami mat areas. For fans of the series, the location provides a strong emotional connection to the show and its characters. The site is particularly meaningful to those who watched the drama when it originally aired. Recent visitors note that the entire series and movie are now available on Netflix, which enhances the experience for those who visit after refreshing their memory of the show.
