Hata Clinic
About
Located at Tokaido Ichirizuka in Tsurumi-ku, Yokohama, Hata Clinic has a history dating back to the Edo era, where it was known as "Hata's Moxibustion" for healing weary travelers. The clinic specializes in internal medicine, pediatrics, and gastroenterology. Staffed with board-certified general internists and specialists from three major gastroenterological societies, they provide comprehensive care ranging from common ailments like colds, headaches, and abdominal pain to lifestyle diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, as well as gastrointestinal and liver conditions. Diagnostic facilities include abdominal ultrasound, upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy, transnasal endoscopy with minimal discomfort, and intravenous anesthesia. Transportation is convenient with the clinic situated directly in front of the "Ichibashi" bus stop on the Yokohama Municipal Bus route. The fully barrier-free design includes a parking lot, allowing wheelchair users to access examination rooms smoothly. Designated as a fever medical institution by Kanagawa Prefecture, the clinic accepts patients with cold symptoms until 5:30 PM and provides a dedicated waiting area. Health checkup and vaccination schedules are also available. Leveraging its private practice model, the clinic accommodates after-hours care, home visits, and visiting medical services to the extent possible. It also maintains a collaborative care system with nearby general hospitals to refer patients to appropriate medical facilities and physicians based on their condition.
