  • English-speaking support available
  • Friendly and caring staff
  • Professional medical care

    • This major pediatric hospital in Setagaya handles everything from routine child healthcare to complex medical cases requiring specialized care. As a national center, it’s equipped for comprehensive pediatric treatment, including NICU services and specialized care for twin pregnancies. While the medical expertise is highly regarded, patients should be prepared for a more institutional experience typical of large Japanese hospitals. The center particularly shines in handling complicated cases requiring coordination between different departments.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback highlights strong technical capabilities, especially in complex cases and NICU care. The twin pregnancy program receives particular praise for its thoroughness. Administrative processes and communication can be challenging, with some patients reporting frustration with wait times and paperwork. Staff professionalism is consistently noted, though language barriers can present challenges.

    English Language Proficiency

    English support varies significantly across departments. While some doctors can communicate in English, most nurses and administrative staff have limited English ability. Important documents and forms are typically in Japanese only. International patients should consider bringing an interpreter for detailed medical discussions or complex procedures.
