About the Clinic
- What is GoCLN Longevity Clinic?
- GoCLN Longevity Clinic is a preventive and longevity medicine clinic in Roppongi, Tokyo. We conduct structured diagnostic assessments and develop personalized protocols designed to identify and address health risks before they progress to disease.
- How is GoCLN Longevity Clinic different from a traditional hospital or Ningen Dock?
- A standard Ningen Dock is designed for disease screening — it asks whether disease is present today. Our MIRAI programmes are designed for risk identification — it asks what is likely to develop over the next 10 to 20 years, and what can be done now to change that trajectory. Our assessments include markers, imaging, and analytic tools that most general health checks do not cover.
- Is GoCLN Longevity Clinic covered by Japanese national health insurance?
- Yes for sickness related consultations and some exams. However some preventive exams and longevity medicine treatments are outside the scope of the national insurance system. Some services at GoCLN Longevity Clinic are private (jiyū shinryō / 自由診療). Receipts are provided and may be submitted to private insurance or employer wellness programs where applicable.
- Do I need a referral?
- No referral is required. Patients may book an initial consultation directly.
- Is English support available?
- Yes. Physicians and Health coaches and front-desk staff are bilingual in Japanese and English. Clinical reports are available in both languages.
About the Programs
- What is the MIRAI Program?
- MIRAI is our comprehensive baseline diagnostic assessment. It includes advanced laboratory testing, imaging, body composition analysis, cardiovascular evaluation, biological age assessment, and an in-depth physician consultation. It is offered in three tiers with increasing depth of analysis.
- How long does a MIRAI assessment take?
- The in-clinic portion typically takes 3 to 5 hours depending on the tier selected. Results are prepared over 15 to 30 business days, after which a follow-up consultation is scheduled to review findings and protocol.
- How often should I repeat the assessment?
- Most patients repeat the core diagnostic annually. Certain markers may be monitored more frequently — typically every 3 to 6 months — depending on the protocol.
- Can I choose individual tests instead of a full program?
- Yes. À la carte diagnostics and single consultations are available. The full MIRAI program is recommended for patients seeking a complete baseline.
About Therapies
- Do you prescribe hormone replacement therapy?
- When clinically indicated and supported by laboratory data, yes. Hormone optimization is conducted under physician supervision, with follow-up monitoring as a core part of the protocol.
- Do you offer IV therapy?
- Yes. IV vitamins and nutrient therapy is available on an individualized basis.
- Do you offer peptide or regenerative therapies?
- Select peptide and regenerative protocols may be offered when supported by scientific evidence and appropriate clinical indications. Before any treatment decision is made, all potential benefits, risks, and expected outcomes are discussed in detail with the patient.
- Are your therapies approved in Japan?
- All therapies offered at GoCLN are within the bounds of Japanese medical regulation. Certain protocols are administered under a physician's responsibility under Japan's jiyū shinryō framework; informed consent is obtained in every case.
