Katafuchi OB/GYN
About
Katafuchi Obstetrics and Gynecology, located in Shiroishi-cho, Kishima-gun, Saga Prefecture, is a specialized obstetrics and gynecology clinic that has been supporting expectant and new mothers in the community for over 30 years since opening in 1989. The clinic places "family-like warmth" at the core of its practice, and places great importance on creating a welcoming, home-like atmosphere where patients can relax and take their time. Many veteran staff members with long years of service work at the clinic, and it is said that there are quite a few families who have continued visiting across generations — from parents to children, and even grandchildren. For labor and hospitalization, the clinic has introduced a birth plan system, and is notable for its policy of "saying NO as little as possible" to the wishes and concerns of expectant mothers and their families, designing individualized plans for each patient. The inpatient facilities consist entirely of private rooms — six Western-style rooms and one Japanese-style room — all equipped with shower rooms. After delivery, the clinic offers complimentary aftercare services unique to the facility, including esthetic treatments, a couples' dinner, and post-discharge Pilates sessions. English-language support is also available, making it an accessible environment for those who need communication in languages other than Japanese. The clinic has ample parking, making it easy to visit even in an area with limited public transportation. Another convenience is that appointments are not required — patients can visit at any time during consultation hours. The clinic operates on a two-session schedule (morning and afternoon) on weekdays and Saturdays, continuing to provide community-rooted obstetric and gynecological care.
