If you've read the article, you'll realize that you're in a good and safe place to have your baby. Foreigners are often surprised at how much choice there is when considering where to have their babies in Tokyo. The doctor's professional training and background were listed as a third consideration after language, and the geographical location of the doctor's office and the hospital. Your health history and your personal wishes will determine where you will choose to have your baby. Your choice of caregivers and place to give birth is as important in Japan as it is anywhere else in the world.
Some obstetricians have their own offices or see patients in small clinics.
Some of these smaller practices will have an appointment system. You can either make an appointment or find out what the doctor's schedule is and visit the clinic at that time. Some hospitals will have an appointment system and others simply do not. You must inquire before you visit.
