The hospital maintains a 3.4/5 rating from nearly 300 patients, with many appreciating the cleanliness and medical expertise. English support is available through pre-arranged translators, though you’ll need to request this service in advance.

    Patient Feedback

    Patients consistently mention the cleanliness of the facility and knowledge of the medical staff, particularly in dermatology. The volunteer support at reception receives specific praise. Inpatients appreciate the food quality. Some note the challenge of language barriers, though the translation service helps. COVID-19 restrictions are well-managed but impact visiting hours. The size of the facility can be overwhelming for first-time visitors.

    English Language Proficiency

    While most staff have limited English ability, the hospital offers professional translation services that must be reserved in advance. These translators attend appointments with you and help with paperwork. Some doctors may have basic English skills, but don't expect English communication at reception or from nursing staff. Forms are primarily in Japanese. Plan ahead to arrange translation support for your visit.
