What is Ningen Dock?

Japan's tradition of
preventive screening,
open to international visitors.

Ningen Dock (人間ドック) is a comprehensive voluntary health examination programme that has been practised in Japan since the 1950s. The term — meaning "human dry dock," by analogy to the maintenance inspection of a ship — describes a systematic, head-to-toe assessment designed to detect health risks before symptoms arise.

A preventive examination, not a treatment. Ningen Dock differs from a standard outpatient visit: it is a scheduled, comprehensive examination of a healthy individual. Results are provided in a structured written report with physician commentary. Tokyo Adventist Hospital has held certification from the Japan Society of Ningen Dock since the programme's establishment.

Our Health Checkup Centre welcomes international visitors and residents of Japan. English-speaking staff are available on site to assist with questions and to guide participants through the examination process.

About Our Health Checkup Centre

What the examination involves

The following describes the structure and characteristics of the Ningen Dock examination offered at Tokyo Adventist Hospital.

Comprehensive Scope

Examinations cover cardiovascular, metabolic, hepatic, renal, haematological, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, ophthalmological, and auditory parameters. The S Course additionally includes visceral fat CT, thyroid panel, endoscopy, and metabolic index measurements.

English-Speaking Staff On Site

English-speaking staff are available at the Health Checkup Centre to assist international visitors. Participants are guided through each stage of the examination process. Korean and Mandarin assistance may also be available — please enquire at the time of reservation.

Same-Day Results Consultation

Following examination, an internal medicine physician conducts a consultation to explain preliminary findings. A comprehensive written report is subsequently sent within approximately 2–3 weeks.

Referral to Specialist Departments

Tokyo Adventist Hospital operates departments in internal medicine, surgery, gynaecology, urology, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, dermatology, palliative care, and paediatrics. Where follow-up is indicated, referral to the appropriate department can be arranged.

Examination Duration

The examination is typically completed within one morning. A meal is provided on site following completion. Participants are advised to allow approximately three to four hours from arrival.

Hospital Setting

The Health Checkup Centre is located within the hospital premises in Amanuma, Suginami-ku, Tokyo. The facility is approximately 18 minutes by train from Shinjuku Station on the JR Chuo Line.
