About
Shiromachi Kokoro Clinic is a psychiatry and psychosomatic medicine clinic located in the Chofu area of Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture — a historic castle town steeped in traditional atmosphere. The clinic provides mental health-centered care for those experiencing stress and physical or psychological difficulties in modern life. Its consultations cover a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms, as well as health consultations related to menopause and geriatric conditions, sleep guidance, simple dementia screening, and tests such as electrocardiograms and blood work. The clinic also addresses cases where mental health issues manifest physically, such as palpitations, dizziness, hyperventilation, and insomnia caused by autonomic nervous system dysregulation, and is characterized by its comprehensive approach to both mind and body. Clinic hours are 9:00–12:00 in the morning (reception until 11:45) and 14:00–18:00 in the afternoon, with closures on Thursday afternoons, Saturday afternoons, Sundays, and public holidays. A prior telephone reservation is required for first-time visits. English-language consultations are available, and the clinic is equipped with parking and barrier-free facilities to accommodate patients in a variety of circumstances. Located approximately a 6-minute walk from the Shiromachi Chofu bus stop, the clinic is relatively easy to access.
