  • English-speaking support available
  • Friendly and caring staff
  • Professional medical care
  • This large public hospital in Naka Ward serves as one of Yokohama’s main emergency and general medical facilities. With a 3.1-star rating from over 400 patients, it handles everything from routine care to serious emergencies. The hospital can get quite crowded, with wait times sometimes stretching to several hours, especially for non-emergency cases. While the medical care is generally professional, the busy atmosphere and language barriers can be challenging for international patients. The emergency response team receives particular praise, though regular outpatient visits may require more patience. The location near Yokohama’s center makes it accessible, but prepare for potentially long waits during peak hours.

    Patient Feedback

    Patients consistently praise the emergency response team’s professionalism and care quality. The staff generally makes efforts to accommodate non-Japanese speakers, though language barriers exist. Common complaints center around long wait times and crowded conditions. While some report frustration with junior doctors’ diagnoses, many appreciate the staff’s attempts to provide care despite communication challenges.

    English Language Proficiency

    Basic English support is available, but don't expect all staff to be fluent. Emergency staff seem more likely to have English abilities. Some patients report using translation apps or bringing interpreters. While the hospital accepts international patients, communication can be challenging. It's advisable to bring a Japanese-speaking friend for non-emergency visits if possible.
