Health check-up

Health check-ups examines your overall health condition and can be either mandated by law or voluntarily chosen by individuals. Screenings are targeted to detect specific diseases early, such as cancer screenings. Our clinic offers health check-ups.

Health check-ups can be divided into health examinations (健康診断) and health screening (健康診査) as below, both of which are available at our clinic.

Health examinations (健康診断)

Health examinations are intended to assess your health status and prevent diseases. They are divided into "mandatory health examinations," which are required by laws such as the Occupational Safety and Health Law, and "voluntary health examinations," which individuals choose to undergo based on personal decision. Mandatory health examinations are conducted upon employment (pre-employment health examinations, according to Article 43 of the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations) and periodically thereafter (periodic health examinations, according to Article 44 of the same regulations).

Health screening (健康診査)

Specific health screenings focus on visceral fat obesity, aiming to improve lifestyle habits that contribute to this condition and reduce the prevalence and risk group of lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes. These are based on the Elderly Health Care Law and target individuals aged 40 to 74. After receiving a health screening, individuals can also receive health guidance aimed at improving their lifestyle habits.

Scheduling health check-up

Health check-ups are by reservation only. Please reserve your health check-up online or by phone.

On the day of your appointment, we will conduct an interview, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. You can choose to receive your results in person, online, or by mail (a mailing fee will be charged). Please specify your preference at your exit. For those who prefer in-person or online consultations, we will schedule a follow-up appointment (one week later or more). There is no additional charge for the follow-up appointment except for an online consultation system fee (¥ 1,000).

If further diagnostic investigation or treatment is deemed necessary based on the results, we may address it through insured medical services at separate occasions.
