This Hospital May Look Normal on the Outside but What’s Inside Will Surprise You

Personally, I’ve always had a fear of hospitals but I’m not sure if it’s because of the hospital staff, the sharp medical instruments, or the sterile and cold environment. For me, I think it’s the latter.

Watch how this hospital is unlike any other…

One of the most interesting places in Japan is the Edogawa Hospital. It has a really unique history and architecture, and it’s definitely worth checking out if you’re in the Tokyo area. This unique medical center still has a sterile environment for the safety of our health but it definitely isn’t a boring shade of white. Instead, it is full of color paintings, murals, and even a gigantic elephant-themed MRI machine.

The waiting room is definitely more inviting than most hospitals and looks awesome.

If North American hospitals had this type of style, it would probably bring my stress level down if I needed to go to the emergency room. If you’re ever in the Tokyo area and need medical care, be sure to check out Edogawa Hospital in Japan!
