Hikari Midwifery Clinic
About
Hikari Josanin (Hikari Midwifery Clinic) is a midwifery-led clinic located in Sasaguri-machi, Kasuya-gun, Fukuoka Prefecture. The clinic operates on weekdays from 9:00 to 17:00 and offers English-language consultations, making it accessible to individuals from diverse backgrounds. One of the clinic's defining features is its strong focus on sex education and life education for children, extending well beyond standard midwifery care. Grounded in the principle of respect for human rights, the clinic provides age-appropriate learning about the body, emotions, and relationships from early childhood onward, drawing on the eight domains of the UNESCO International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education for a comprehensive approach. Rather than simply conveying information, the clinic emphasizes experiential learning and dialogue in a safe and supportive environment — an approach that has earned widespread praise. The clinic has an established track record across a broad range of settings in Fukuoka Prefecture, including kindergartens, elementary and junior high schools, special needs schools, and parent community groups. For parents and educators who wish to engage with children in ways that honor both their physical and emotional well-being, this clinic's initiatives offer a reassuring and meaningful option.
