About
Located in Asahi-cho, Kuji City, Iwate Prefecture, Iwate Prefectural Kuji Hospital provides medical services primarily focusing on internal medicine as a community-based public hospital. The hospital accepts both new and returning patients starting at 8:30 AM, with return patients also seen during afternoon hours from 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM.

For payments, the hospital accepts credit cards and electronic payments, allowing diverse payment options beyond cash. With ample parking facilities, access by car is convenient, and barrier-free equipment is also available, ensuring that wheelchair users and those with physical disabilities can visit with confidence. Face masks are required in the facility, and infection control measures continue to be implemented. As a key medical hub in the Kuji region of northern Iwate Prefecture, the hospital continues to support the health maintenance of the local community.
