Kokoro Seitsuin Group, which operates 125 clinics nationwide (Givers Holdings Inc., Headquarters: Shinjuku, Tokyo, CEO: Yasuhiro Aki), opened 'Sekai no Kokoro Seitsuin Aeon Town Higashiurawa Branch' in Midori Ward, Saitama City, on Thursday, March 26, 2026. Located on the 3rd floor of the new commercial facility 'Aeon Town Higashiurawa,' which grand-opened on March 28, 2026, and just a 1-minute walk from JR Musashino Line 'Higashiurawa' Station, it supports the health of local residents with AI posture analysis and a unique 'GIFT Method' based on scientific evidence published in the international journal 'PLOS ONE.'
Background of the Store Opening: Responding to the Health Needs of 'Saitama City Midori Ward,' Where Population Continues to Grow Saitama City's Midori Ward is home to approximately 135,000 people and about 60,000 households, and is one of the few areas in Japan where population growth is expected even by 2050. Rich in nature with the Numata Marshlands and characterized by its quiet residential areas, it is home to many families with young children, particularly in the Omaki, Mimuro, and Nakao areas.
Meanwhile, Higashiurawa Station is a terminal station on the JR Musashino Line, serving approximately 27,000 passengers daily. It is a key point on a commuter line, recording a congestion rate of 173% during the morning rush hour. While many commuters work in desk jobs, consultations from individuals suffering from postpartum pelvic care issues and physical discomfort during childcare are also increasing. To meet these regional health needs, we decided to open our first clinic in Midori Ward, Saitama City.
About the New Facility 'Aeon Town Higashiurawa' 'Aeon Town Higashiurawa,' where our clinic is located, is a new commercial facility spanning four floors with a total of 22 tenants, developed over approximately three and a half years on the former site of the Isetan Ai Plaza Higashiurawa store.
The entire facility is designed as a 'Wellness Station' themed around 'food' and 'health.' The first floor houses Maruetsu (supermarket), and the fourth floor hosts the Medical Center Higashiurawa (9 departments, 4 clinics). Our clinic is located on the third floor, offering an environment where patients can receive osteopathic treatment alongside daily shopping and medical appointments. The facility anticipates approximately 1.5 million visitors annually.
Three Features of 'Sekai no Kokoro Seitsuin Aeon Town Higashiurawa Branch'
Feature 1: AI Posture Analysis x 'GIFT Method' Based on International Papers Our clinic utilizes a proprietary AI posture analysis system based on Google's Pose Estimation Engine to objectively identify body misalignments and muscle issues using data. For treatments, we employ the 'GIFT Method,' which is based on scientific evidence published in the international journal 'PLOS ONE' as a result of joint research with Toa University. This six-step treatment combines fascial release, joint mobilization, and inner muscle activation to aim for improvements in stiff shoulders, lower back pain, and posture.
Feature 2: Treatment Design Aiming for 'Graduation' and Full Refund Guarantee on First Visit Our group's goal is to help patients achieve a life independent of continuous treatment, a concept we call 'graduation.' Within the first three visits, we evaluate changes in symptoms and their impact on daily life. Based on these results, we jointly determine the frequency of visits and self-care strategies. We do not engage in aggressive sales tactics. Furthermore, we offer a 'First Visit Full Refund Guarantee' system, where if you are not satisfied with the first treatment, we will refund the full amount upon your request on the same day.
Feature 3: 1-Minute Walk from Station + Child-Friendly Clinic Environment Upon exiting the North Exit of JR Higashiurawa Station, 'Aeon Town Higashiurawa' is directly in front of you. Taking the escalator or elevator to the third floor, you will find our clinic immediately. The clinic is equipped with a bouncer, allowing parents with young children to receive treatment with peace of mind. Its convenience, allowing visits alongside shopping at Maruetsu on the first floor or appointments at the clinic on the fourth floor, is also a significant attraction.
