Fukuroda Hospital
About
Located in Daigo Town, Kuji District, Ibaraki Prefecture, surrounded by the rich nature of Okukuji, Fukuda Hospital is a hospital specializing in psychiatric care rooted in the community. Going beyond the framework of Western medicine, the hospital adopts an integrated medical approach flexibly incorporating traditional medicine such as Ayurveda and Kampo, as well as modern molecular integrative nutrition medicine, pursuing meticulous treatment for mental illness. Despite being a psychiatric hospital, it closely collaborates with local disability welfare service facilities, providing comprehensive mental health care that goes beyond inpatient and outpatient frameworks. The hospital also offers unique rehabilitation programs such as the "Amigo Ranch" Hitachi cattle breeding project through agriculture-welfare collaboration, the day care center "Holos" centered around art activities, and employment support using natural farming methods, actively addressing social issues like regenerating abandoned farmland. Artworks created by users are displayed in outpatient waiting rooms and wards, reflecting a culture that promotes self-expression and social participation through art. The hospital can accommodate English speakers and is equipped with parking and barrier-free facilities, creating an accessible environment for various patients. It is located approximately 5 minutes by taxi from Fukuda Station on the JR Suigun Line, and about 1 hour 10 minutes by car from the Naka Interchange on the Joban Expressway.
