Nippon Medical School Chiba Hokusou Hospital is a large medical facility in Inzai with 600 beds and 28 specialized departments serving patients across many fields of care. The facility operates two da Vinci robotic surgery systems for advanced surgical procedures.
The facility opened in 1994 as an extension of Nippon Medical School, which was founded in 1876 as a pioneering medical institution. This hospital represents the continued development of that long-established medical legacy.

Starting in September 2024, the hospital offers full-body cancer screenings using PET/CT technology, available to both residents and visitors to Japan. This makes it one of the few places where advanced preventive screening is accessible to international travelers.
