Takamiya Hospital
About
Takamiya Hospital is a medical institution that has supported regional healthcare in a tranquil setting surrounded by clear air and abundant greenery, situated at the foot of Yamanobenomichi — a path steeped in the ancient history of the Man'yōshū — in Yanagimoto-cho, Tenri City, Nara Prefecture. The hospital offers a broad range of departments, including internal medicine, orthopedics, surgery, rehabilitation, and rheumatology, addressing the diverse medical needs of residents primarily in the southern Tenri City area. Director Dr. Kazuaki Yakura graduated from Tokai University School of Medicine, gained extensive experience as a surgeon at multiple hospitals, and joined this facility in 2013. The hospital's guiding philosophy is "medicine with heart" — a commitment to patient-centered care that values genuine human warmth while also pursuing efficiency and accuracy in modern medicine. The facility actively introduces the latest medical equipment to enable more precise diagnoses. English-speaking staff are available, and the hospital is equipped with barrier-free facilities and parking, making it accessible to patients of diverse backgrounds. Consultations are accepted Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday mornings (9:00–12:00), with evening hours on select days (17:00–19:00), and emergency patients are accommodated flexibly. Nestled in a nature-rich environment, this hospital continues to deliver warm, community-rooted medical care.
