Stem cell treatment in Kyoto: check the clinic is registered

Kyoto has 19 institutions and 33 filings on the public register held by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. That number is not a measure of quality — it only means these institutions completed the legal filing. This page lists what you can verify.

Institutions scoring higher on disclosure

We reviewed the websites of 17 institutions in this area against the same 19 checks. Those scoring higher are listed below.

  1. 1 たけだ膠原病リウマチクリニック 幹細胞治療 / PRP療法 53
  2. 2 京都下鴨病院 幹細胞治療 / PRP療法 41
  3. 3 若冲庵美容クリニック 幹細胞治療 / 培養上清液 37
  4. 4 京都武田病院 幹細胞治療 35
  5. 5 御所南はなこクリニック 幹細胞治療 / 培養上清液 33

The score measures website disclosure only. It does not measure treatment outcomes, physician skill or patient satisfaction. A low score means we could read little from the website, not that the institution is poor.

Main districts

District names are left in Japanese. That is the spelling you will see on station signs, maps and in taxis, so it is more useful to memorise the original.

  • 四条烏丸
  • 河原町・祇園
  • 京都駅周辺
  • 烏丸御池

Three things to confirm before you visit

  1. That the institution is on the register (it may be filed under a corporate name, not the name on the door)
  2. The total cost in writing, including cell processing, number of sessions, follow-up visits and storage fees
  3. Which hospital they transfer you to in an emergency — only a small minority publish this
