Tanaka Clinic
About
Tanaka Clinic, located in Hatakeda, Wakamatsu-ku, Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, is an internal medicine and gastroenterology clinic situated close to Futajima Station on the JR Chikuho Line. One of the clinic's notable features is its integrated approach combining Western medicine with Kampo (traditional Chinese/Japanese herbal medicine). Dr. Yutaka Tanaka, the clinic director and certified Kampo prescriber, tailors prescriptions of both Western and herbal medicines to each patient's constitution and symptoms, providing care even for hard-to-diagnose conditions and early-stage health concerns before illness fully develops. The clinic also specializes in gastroenterology, with a particular focus on digestive disorders including liver disease. English-speaking services are available, making the clinic accessible to patients who prefer communication in languages other than Japanese. A parking lot is provided for patients traveling by car. Consultations are primarily held in the afternoon, with closures on Wednesday afternoons, Thursday afternoons, Sundays, and public holidays. For those seeking a combined approach of Kampo and Western medicine, this clinic stands as a reliable option.
