About
Sapporo Minami-ichijo Hospital is an internal medicine specialty hospital located in Minami 1-jo Nishi 13-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo. It is conveniently accessible by multiple forms of public transportation — a 5-minute walk from Exit 2 of Nishi 11-chome Station on the Subway Tozai Line, and a 3-minute walk from the Nishi 15-chome tram stop. The hospital focuses primarily on cardiology, nephrology, diabetology, and respiratory medicine, with multiple specialists assigned to outpatient consultations on designated days and time slots. Specialized outpatient clinics are also offered, including a dialysis clinic, cardiology clinic, Kampo (traditional herbal medicine) clinic, and second opinion consultation clinic, enabling the hospital to accommodate a wide range of needs from general internal medicine to specialized consultations. Appointments are required in principle, with weekday hours divided into two sessions — 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM — and Saturday hours limited to mornings only. Same-day appointments are not accepted, so advance booking is strongly recommended. The facility is fully barrier-free and designed to be accessible for wheelchair users and those with mobility concerns. English-language assistance is available, making it a viable option for patients who require communication in languages other than Japanese. The hospital also features a paid parking lot with a capacity of up to 26 vehicles, equipped with camera surveillance, providing convenient access for those arriving by car.
