Facilities
Waiting Area

We value a warm atmosphere, which we create with features such as a wooden counter. The dispensing counter is equipped with partitions to ensure patient privacy. In this relaxed environment, our pharmacists provide easy-to-understand explanations about prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medicines. We are also always available for consultations about medications, health, and nursing care.
Why not check your blood pressure and body fat?
We have a blood pressure monitor and a body fat scale available for use. You are welcome to visit us just to take your measurements, even if you are not picking up medication. Please feel free to stop by.
Dispensary
Experienced Pharmacists and State-of-the-Art Dispensing Equipment
In addition to precise and meticulous dispensing by our experienced pharmacists, we have implemented a computerized dispensing audit system to ensure patient safety by preventing dispensing errors and checking for drug interactions. To help patients take their medications correctly, and at the request of doctors and patients, we use the latest automatic tablet packaging machine to provide single-dose packaging for tablets and capsules. We can also fill prescriptions for Kampo medicines, as we have a dedicated automatic packaging machine for Kampo decoctions.
Sterile Preparation Room
Equipped for the Preparation of Sterile Products Such as High-Calorie Infusions
To support home healthcare, we are equipped to prepare sterile products such as injectable drugs and high-calorie infusions. Only about 2% of the 60,000 pharmacies nationwide have a sterile room. Therefore, we support community healthcare by implementing a shared-use program that allows other local pharmacies to utilize our sterile room.
Home-Visit Pharmaceutical Management Services
Our pharmacists visit patients' homes to manage their medications and provide consultations. We also employ strategies to prevent missed doses and medication errors, such as using medication calendars and pill organizers. For patients who still find it difficult to manage their medications, we may use a medication adherence robot. The robot alerts the patient when it is time for their dose and dispenses the correct medication.
