Osaka Metropolitan University Hospital
MedCity21 is the Advanced Preventive Medicine Center of Osaka Metropolitan University Hospital, located on the 21st floor of Abeno Harukas — Japan's tallest skyscraper.
Founded in 1925, Osaka Metropolitan University Hospital is one of Japan's most respected medical institutions, with a history spanning over a century — certified by the Ministry of Health as a Highly Specialized Hospital, a designation held by only 84 hospitals nationwide.
As a teaching hospital under the university's medical school, it combines advanced technology, specialized staff, and a deep commitment to preventive medicine.
Affiliated with the Department of Advanced Preventive Medicine, MedCity21 promotes health and extends healthy life expectancy through early detection and treatment of disease.
MedCity21 occupies the 21st floor of Abeno Harukas, Japan's tallest building. The center combines panoramic views with a calm, premium environment designed for thorough and unhurried health screening.
Unlike commercial screening centers for tourists, MedCity21 serves both Japanese and international patients with the same standard of care — sharing appointment slots with local patients.
The center features private consultation rooms, a ladies-only area, and a dedicated waiting lounge — every detail crafted for a calm, dignified experience.
Two-day Executive programs include accommodation at Osaka Marriott Miyako Hotel and dining at the top-floor observation restaurant.
