Recommended Route

Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy

Endoscopic examinations and tumor marker tests are performed to detect early cancer of the digestive system, such as the stomach and large intestine.

Time required: About 120 minutes

【Shokurakuan Hotoku】

For dinner the day before your gastroscopy and colonoscopy, you can enjoy a healthy and delicious special dinner suitable for the examination at 【Shokurakuan Hotoku】, a Japanese restaurant located inside Hotoku Ninomiya Shrine.

【Tenseien Station Hotel Odawara】

You will be asked to take a laxative the night before the test. To ensure you are comfortable and relaxed during the test, we recommend that you stay the night before your colonoscopy at the 【Tenseien Station Hotel Odawara】, which is located in the same building as the Odawara Hakone Health Check Clinic.

Brain Screening

Analyze the risk of stroke and cerebral infarction using the most advanced MRI equipment!

Brain diseases are dreadful diseases that can lead to sudden death. Even if survive, you may be left with serious after-effects. On the other hand, early detection of the risk makes it possible to treat with medication. For the sake of your loved ones and your work, we recommend that you undergo a brain checkup.

Time required: About 40 minutes

Lung Screening

Lung cancer, emphysema, pneumonia
For early detection of interstitial pneumonia and other diseases!

Chest CT scans and four tumor marker tests are used to detect lung cancer early. At Odawara Hakone Health Check Clinic, we use low-dose chest CT scans, so we can obtain sufficient images while limiting radiation exposure, so you can be assured when you undergo the examination. We especially recommend this to smokers, people with a smoking history, and people over 40 years old.

CT scan + tumor marker
Time required: About 30 minutes

Respiratory diseases often do not show symptoms or abnormal test results in the early stages, and if they are discovered late, treatment becomes difficult and the mortality rate is high.
Early detection through detailed examinations and early treatment are important.

DWIBS

Diffusion Weighted Whole Body Imaging with Background Body Signal Suppression

This examination, made possible by the improved performance of MRI, can image the entire body from the neck to the pelvis and search for cancer. It has fewer restrictions than PET-CT and is easier to use.

Time required: About 60 minutes
