Kamifurano Town Hospital
About
Kamifurano Town Hospital, located in Kamifurano-cho, Sorachi-gun, Hokkaido, is a public hospital serving the community healthcare needs of the Furano area, renowned for its lavender fields. The primary department is internal medicine, and Friday afternoons are reserved for appointment-only cardiology consultations, providing specialized care for cardiac and vascular conditions. The hospital offers multilingual support including English and Korean, creating an accessible environment for patients who are not fluent in Japanese. Medical fees can be paid by credit card or electronic payment, offering the added convenience of cashless transactions. The facility features a barrier-free design, allowing wheelchair users and those with mobility concerns to navigate the premises safely. A parking lot is also available for patients arriving by car. As a measure to prevent the spread of infectious disease, patients with fever or cold-like symptoms are asked to call ahead before visiting, in order to maintain a safe clinical environment. From December 2025 (Reiwa 7), the use of My Number Card health insurance is set to become the standard, and those who have not yet applied are encouraged to do so promptly. The hospital operates five days a week, closed on weekends and public holidays, and continues to support the health of local residents.
