About
Family Clinic Hikifune is an internal medicine and gastroenterology clinic established in 2017 in Kyōjima, Sumida Ward, Tokyo, conveniently located just a 1-minute walk from Keisei Hikifune Station and a 3-minute walk from Tobu Hikifune Station. Guided by the mission of eliminating deaths from stomach and colon cancer, the clinic supports community healthcare primarily through the promotion of endoscopic examinations. All endoscopic procedures are performed by specialists affiliated with the University of Tokyo Hospital, with an extensive track record of over 10,000 cases annually. A key feature is the use of sedatives to perform painless examinations while patients sleep. Same-day combined gastroscopy and colonoscopy is also available, reducing patient burden by requiring only a single period of dietary restriction. If colon polyps are discovered, they can be removed on the spot as a same-day procedure, allowing patients to receive examination and treatment in one visit. The clinic offers evening outpatient hours until 9:00 PM on Wednesdays and accommodates examinations on weekends, providing flexible scheduling for those unable to visit during regular daytime hours. A LINE-based system allows patients to complete everything from booking to receiving results, with no pre-visit required before the examination. A collaborative framework with the University of Tokyo Hospital enables prompt referrals to specialized institutions. Credit card and electronic payment acceptance along with barrier-free facilities create an accessible environment for a wide range of patients.
