Good Points:

The nurses were very nice and helped me get food from the convenience store when I was in a wheelchair.

Free WiFi in the waiting area.

You can usually see a doctor on the same day, even if you don't have an appointment, but you might be waiting 3 to 4 hours.

Bad Points:

One time I had an appointment booked to see a doctor but I still had to wait about 40 to 50 minutes to see the doctor.

The Wi-Fi doesn’t work properly in the inpatient rooms in this hospital unfortunately. It works from the eating area though.

I had been going to this hospital every couple of weeks for years to get meds so I asked for a year's supply. They didn't tell me, if I didn't visit within a year, I would have to pay lots of money to go back there. They said I'd only have to pay 700 yen. It felt like I had been scammed.

They didn't tell me how long the medical letter they wrote could be used. When I saved up enough money to go to the next hospital that had the doctor I needed to see they said I had to pay 7,700 yen as the letter that cost me about 3,000 yen couldn't be used.
