This analytics report, aimed at becoming a compass for medical mall management, provides an in-depth look at the healthcare landscape, including the number of clinics, pharmacies, geographic distribution, and types of medical specialties.

Key Findings

Rising Count of Medical Malls

The number of domestic medical malls has shown a consistent increase, with an uptick of 21 from August 2025 to reach 3,002 as of November 2025. Tokyo leads with 825 medical malls, followed by Kanagawa with 467 and Osaka with 433. These major metropolitan areas account for over three-quarters of the medical malls in the country, underscoring significant regional concentration. Conversely, prefectures like Tokushima, Yamagata, Tottori, and Ehime reveal stark geographical disparities, showcasing areas without identifiable medical malls.

Predominant Medical Specialties

In terms of the primary specialties offered, internal medicine (20.4%), dentistry (18.3%), and ophthalmology (9.9%) are the top three fields, indicating a focus on everyday healthcare needs. A prominent trend is observed in the combination patterns of specialties, with 'Ophthalmology, Dentistry, and Internal Medicine' being the most frequently encountered mix, catering to family-oriented healthcare demands.

Strategic Location Choices

Notably, over 50% of medical malls are located within a 5-minute walk from train stations, revealing that accessibility is a crucial factor in attracting patients. However, certain regions such as Hokkaido, Hiroshima, and Kyoto display variations, including suburban locations and those distanced from public transport.

Pharmacy Operations Ranking

Among the pharmacy operators within these medical malls, the Matsukiyo Cocokara Group tops the list with 127 outlets, followed by the Aisei Pharmacy Group with 120 and the Sogo Medical Group with 111 establishments. The rise of Tsuruha Holdings in the fourth position reflects ongoing industry restructuring trends.
