Located in Iwasono-cho, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, within walking distance from Hankyu Ashiyagawa Station and JR Ashiya Station, Maple Children's Clinic is a pediatric specialty clinic. Director Dr. Kazuo Obata graduated from the University of Tokyo Faculty of Medicine and gained clinical and research experience at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and St. Louis Children's Hospital at Washington University. He holds both the Japan Pediatric Society Certified Pediatrician credential and American Board of Pediatrics certification. The clinic provides comprehensive pediatric care ranging from common childhood illnesses such as colds, bronchitis, and acute gastroenteritis to asthma and allergies, growth and development assessments, various vaccinations, and infant health checkups. English-language consultations are available. The facility features two entrances and waiting rooms along with four examination rooms as infection control measures, designed so that patients for checkups and vaccinations do not wait in the same space as those for general consultations. A kids' corner and diaper-changing and nursing areas are fully equipped, and the clinic is barrier-free, allowing strollers to enter directly. Credit cards, debit cards, and electronic payments are accepted, and underground parking is available. When more specialized examinations or treatments are needed, referrals to appropriate medical institutions are provided, making this a pediatric clinic that comprehensively supports the health of children in the community.
