Medical Facilities Database
Information about doctors in Japan can be difficult to come by, and at ShigaJET we hope to build a searchable database of local clinics and hospitals—indexed by speciality and location.
But we need your help! If you have been see a doctor in the area and would like to share information about your visit with the community, please complete and submit the anonymous form at the link below and we will be sure to include it in the listings.
Welcome to the new ShigaJET!
It has been a long time coming, but ShigaJET.org is finally up and running!
Though the site’s current functionality is extremely limited, as time goes on we hope to add many of the features that made ShigaJET such a thriving online community in the past—in addition to a few new ones.
Please feel free to create an account, explore the site, and let us know what you think over in the forums or through the Contact button on the top of this page.
Welcome to ShigaJET.org!
