Tenri Hospital (天理よろづ相談所病院 Tenri Yorozu Sōdanjo Byōin) is an international hospital located in Tenri City, Nara Prefecture, Japan. It was founded on April 1, 1966.[1]
Tenri Hospital was established as part of the secular mission of Tenrikyo, a Japanese new religious movement. It is situated within the oyasato-yakata complex, which surrounds the Jiba, the spiritual center of Tenrikyo. The hospital is built in the same syncretic style as the rest of the complex.
In Japan, where medical care is often highly specialized and cross-specialist treatment can be difficult, Tenri Hospital played a pioneering role by founding and developing the first department of general medicine.[2]
