Mihara Hospital
About
Mihara Hospital (Daijikai Medical Corporation), located in Nakanomachi, Mihara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, is a hospital specializing in psychiatry, internal medicine, and psychosomatic medicine. The hospital is designated as a Hiroshima Prefecture Psychiatric Emergency Medical Facility and the Hiroshima Eastern Region Dementia Disease Medical Center, playing a central role in regional psychiatric care. A key feature of the hospital is its comprehensive approach to a wide range of mental health conditions—from treatment through rehabilitation—including schizophrenia, mood disorders (depression and bipolar disorder), dementia, alcohol use disorder, developmental disorders, childhood and adolescent psychiatric conditions, and gambling disorder. The facility is equipped with specialized rooms including a day care room, psychotherapy room, and examination room, and offers both private and four-person inpatient rooms. Outpatient hours run Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to noon, with reception open from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM. The hospital is closed on Sundays, public holidays, year-end/New Year, and the Obon period. First-time visits are by appointment only, with a psychiatric social worker (counselor) conducting a preliminary phone interview to assess the patient's situation before scheduling an appointment. For transportation, a free shuttle bus operates 31 times daily between the hospital and Mihara Station, and parking is available for 70 vehicles. The facility is also barrier-free accessible and offers services in English.
