Kuno Hospital

What Kuno Hospital does

Kyoto Kuno Hospital (京都久野病院) is a private care-mix medical institution operated by Medical Corporation Ikuseikai (医療法人社団育生会), founded in 1965 and headquartered in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto. The hospital combines acute general care (120 beds), recovery rehabilitation (60 beds), and medical long-term care (55 beds) within its 235-bed hospital, alongside an attached 165-bed Kaigo Iryo In (nursing medical institution) for elderly care-level 4-5 patients. It provides 24-hour emergency medicine, multi-specialty outpatient services (internal medicine, surgery, orthopedics, neurosurgery, breast surgery, gastroenterology, cardiology, gynecology, rehabilitation), and operates standard diagnostic imaging including multislice CT, 1.5T MRI, X-ray, ultrasound, and endoscopy suites. FY2027 operational metrics were 32,928 outpatient visits, 773 emergency cases, 1,092 new admissions, and 169 surgeries, supported by 40+ rehabilitation therapists.

The hospital is the core of an integrated care network of eight wholly owned or affiliated facilities spanning Higashiyama and Fushimi Wards: a 165-bed Kaigo Iryo In, Group Home Fukakusa (27 dementia beds), Nursing Care Service Center Fukakusa, Visiting Nursing Station Fukakusa, Visiting Care Office Shomon, Functional Training Day Service Locomotion and Obladiobrada, and welfare facility Let It Be (29 special nursing + 10 short-stay + 27 group home + 25 small-scale multi-functional beds). The network enables seamless patient transitions across acute, rehabilitative, institutional long-term, and home-based care without transferring to outside providers.

Revenue is generated through reimbursements from Japan's national health insurance and long-term care insurance fee schedules, supplemented by patient co-payments (room differentials, meal charges) and welfare facility fees. Distribution is direct, via walk-in outpatients, referrals from regional clinics and super-acute hospitals, and emergency presentations. Marketing channels are the corporate website, Facebook/Instagram, Kyoto Shimbun newspaper coverage, and community health lectures at local welfare councils. Leadership transitioned in April 2025 when Director Wataru Fukuta (福田亖) succeeded longtime Chairman Hisato Kuno (久野成人) as Hospital Director, with Kuno retaining Chairmanship of the corporation.
