Initial patient registration is generally available on weekday mornings from 8:30 to 11:30, with additional afternoon reception for returning or scheduled patients. The institution is separate from the University of Tokyo Hospital commonly associated with the Faculty of Medicine, so patients should confirm the appropriate department and referral requirements before visiting.

Emergency and after-hours arrangements vary by provider; urgent emergencies should use Japan's 119 ambulance system, while routine patients should check current official reception information.
