Hospital Introduction

To patients and visitors who have fever or cold-like symptoms

If you would like to visit the Fever Consultation department, please come to the After-hours entrance during consultation hours.
You will be asked to wait inside your car until your turn comes.
Please understand that you may have to wait a long time.
You will be called in for consultation in order of registration.
Registration will be closed early when it has reached the patient cap.
(We may be able to accept patients with critical conditions or those with a risk of worsening illnesses, even after the registration has been closed, so please inquire us.)

Basically, as an examination, an antigen test is performed, not PCR test.
The antigen test will be free of charge (at public expenditure) but you will have to pay a co-payment of your medical fee, etc., that are covered by medical insurance.
COVID-19 positive patients can consult the doctor online if you want prescriptions, etc. while you are in the isolation period for recovering from COVID-19. Please inquire by phone.

The principles of Shinseikai Toyama Hospital

The name “Shinseikai” is built from three Japanese characters: “shin,” meaning “truth;” “sei,” meaning “live;” and “kai,” meaning “a gathering of individuals who share the same values." Therefore, the name “Shinseikai” indicates “a gathering of individuals dedicated to practicing true medical care.”

We believe “true medical care” is care based on the principles of Buddhism, which leads all to true happiness.

We aim to offer our patients peace of mind and satisfaction, so we do our utmost to provide quality medical care based on the Buddhist principle of “benefiting ourselves, benefiting others,” which means that bringing happiness to others brings ourselves happiness.

To achieve this end, we always take care to treat our patients with gentle smiles and warm words. This, too, is one of the principles taught by the Buddha, one of the noble deeds he specified to bring happiness to others.

At Shinseikai Toyama Hospital, our mission is to provide medical care that supports our patients so they can live out their lives with no regret.
