Hospitals and Medical Services Around Takanawadai

For a central Tokyo residential neighborhood, Takanawadai provides comparatively strong access to large medical institutions. JCHO Tokyo Takanawa Hospital is located on the Takanawa side of the station, while NTT Medical Center Tokyo is accessible toward Gotanda. Smaller clinics, dental practices and pharmacies are also distributed through Takanawadai, Shirokanedai and Gotanda. Major hospitals may require referrals for certain departments, and outpatient registration, consultation hours and emergency acceptance differ by department and time, so official instructions should be checked before non-emergency visits. Older residents and people requiring regular treatment should consider slopes, crossings, taxi access and the availability of the required specialty rather than measuring distance alone. In a medical emergency, residents should follow current guidance from emergency services such as 119 or Tokyo's emergency consultation services rather than assuming that a particular hospital will accept them.
