Yamabiko House
About
Yamabiko House, located in Nishi-Minowa, Ina City, Nagano Prefecture, is a midwifery clinic specializing in pregnancy, childbirth, and postnatal care. Led by certified midwives, the clinic offers a wide range of services spanning the perinatal period, including natural childbirth assistance, prenatal checkups, breastfeeding support, and postpartum care. Unlike hospitals where medical interventions tend to take center stage, Yamabiko House is characterized by attentive, personalized care provided in a warm, home-like atmosphere, creating an environment that truly supports birthing mothers and their families. English-language consultations are also available, making it easy for non-Japanese speakers to seek guidance with confidence. Hours of operation are Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to noon, with the clinic closed on Sundays, public holidays, year-end and New Year's, and the Obon period. On-site parking is available, which is a reassuring convenience for expectant and new mothers navigating Ina City, where public transportation options are limited. For those who wish to experience the irreplaceable journey of childbirth in a calm, nature-surrounded setting alongside skilled midwives, Yamabiko House stands as an important local option.
