About
Jichi Medical University Hospital, located in Shimotsuke City, Tochigi Prefecture, is a university-affiliated general hospital that provides advanced specialized medical care as a designated Specific Function Hospital by the government. With a focus on internal medicine, it encompasses numerous specialized departments including cardiology, gastroenterology, neurology, hematology, and endocrinology, offering comprehensive care for a wide range of conditions. In principle, a referral letter from another medical institution is required for consultation; without a referral, an additional fee of 7,700 yen applies as selected medical treatment fees. Some departments operate under a complete referral system, so it is advisable to confirm in advance before first visiting the hospital. New patient registration is available from 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM on weekdays, and the hospital is closed on weekends, holidays, and during the year-end and New Year period. The hospital provides support in multiple languages including English and Korean, and widely accepts credit cards, debit cards, and electronic payments, ensuring a highly convenient environment. The on-site parking lot offers the first hour free for outpatient patients, and barrier-free facilities are well-equipped. The hospital is easily accessible, a 15-minute walk or approximately 5-minute bus ride from JR Utsunomiya Line "Jichi Medical University Station," functioning as a core institution supporting advanced regional healthcare.
