Ningen Dock

Japan’s gold standard in preventive health — a full-body ‘inspection’ before illness strikes.

Ningen Dock is a comprehensive health check-up conducted in Japan.

Ningen means human in Japanese, and Dock (in English) means a facility for inspecting and repairing ships.

Inspired by ship inspections, Japan created the Ningen Dock in 1954 to check the body thoroughly before illness appears. It’s a one- or two-day program of advanced scans and specialist consultations — giving you clarity and peace of mind.

It combines the expertise of experienced physicians with advanced diagnostic technologies such as MRI, CT scans, and endoscopy.

Why It’s an Investment

We insure cars, houses, and even phones. But the most valuable investment is in our health — because without it, nothing else holds value.

“Studies show that for certain cancers, early detection can increase 5-year survival rates to over 90% — for example, breast cancer (99%) and colon cancer (91%) when caught at an early stage. ”
— ACS, BMJ
