About
Yama no Ganka Shinryojo, located in front of Nobeyama Station in Minamimaki Village, Minamisaku District, Nagano Prefecture, is an ophthalmology clinic that opened near Nobeyama Station, known as the highest JR East station. Director Dr. Minoru Tanaka is a veteran physician who has been engaged in surgery and clinical practice for many years as the vice director of Juntendo University Urayasu Hospital and as the director of Minoru Tanaka Eye Clinic in Narita City, Chiba Prefecture. He established this clinic with the desire to serve as a primary care physician in this nature-rich region. The clinic provides general ophthalmology services and treats a wide range of eye conditions including cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and retinal detachment. Notably, the clinic emphasizes pediatric ophthalmology, with a certified orthoptist on staff actively providing amblyopia treatment and the latest examinations, while also offering consultations on children's development including developmental disorders and reading/writing difficulties. Additionally, a certified pharmacist specializing in Kampo medicine and crude drugs is on staff, enabling the clinic to address everyday health concerns beyond ophthalmology. Reception hours are from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM (until 2:30 PM for first-time patients), with continuous examinations. The clinic is equipped with parking and is barrier-free, creating an accessible environment for patients of all ages from children to the elderly.
