Ushijima Clinic
About
Ushijima Clinic is an internal medicine practice located in Ichijo, Chikugo City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The clinic's roots date back to 1949, when its founder, Kojichi Ushijima, established a practice in Tachibana, Yame City. The second-generation physician contributed to local healthcare while specializing in surgery, and in 2016, the clinic began a new chapter at its current location by taking over a community practice with over 70 years of history. Consultation hours are set for mornings Monday through Saturday (9:00–13:00) and weekday afternoons except Wednesday and Saturday (14:00–18:00), ensuring convenient access for working-age patients as well. The clinic offers services in English, creating a welcoming environment for those whose native language is not Japanese. In addition, electronic payments are accepted, and the facility is equipped with a parking lot and barrier-free amenities, making it accessible to a wide range of patients regardless of their means of transportation or physical circumstances. With a long history of community-rooted medical care, the clinic serves as a familiar family doctor for residents in and around Chikugo City.
