Takada Children’s Clinic
Clinic Introduction
A Pediatric Specialty Clinic Focused on Allergic Diseases and Infectious Disease Care
This pediatric and allergology clinic opened in Hoshioki, Teine Ward, Sapporo in July 1993. Serving patients from birth through age 14 (up to the third year of junior high school), the clinic specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of allergic conditions — including asthma and food allergies — as well as infectious diseases. An online appointment system is available, offering both queue-based check-in and scheduled time slots, along with telemedicine consultations for added convenience. The clinic also supports online insurance eligibility verification using the My Number Card as health insurance identification.
Rigorous Infection Control and Patient-Centered Allergy Management
To minimize the risk of healthcare-associated infections, the clinic separates patients with infectious and non-infectious conditions into distinct appointment time slots. In allergy management, the clinic follows a rational treatment philosophy: when a patient’s symptoms are well-controlled, unnecessary interventions are avoided even if laboratory values fall outside the normal range. For food allergies, the clinic strongly discourages elimination diets implemented without a definitive diagnosis, instead recommending appropriate dietary management that carefully accounts for nutritional balance. Parents are thoroughly counseled that allergic symptoms often improve naturally as children grow, helping to alleviate undue anxiety.
Located on the Ground Floor of Hoshioki Ekimae Medical Building — Closing at the End of March 2026
The clinic is conveniently situated on the ground floor of the Hoshioki Ekimae Medical Building in Hoshioki, Teine Ward, Sapporo (TEL: 011-694-8122).

The clinic’s official website carries the following notice: “We will be permanently closing at the end of March 2026. Thank you sincerely for your many years of support.” Patients who require a referral letter or other medical documentation are advised to contact the clinic in advance before scheduling their visit.
