If you are looking for authentic Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture in Nagoya Fushimi, understanding where your practitioner learned matters.
At Yurumari Acupuncture Clinic, treatment is shaped not only by Japanese clinical experience, but also by graduate study at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and clinical training in the Acupuncture Department of Shanghai First People’s Hospital.
Acupuncture is not only a technique. It is a philosophy of how to see the human body, life, and healing.
What I experienced in China changed the way I practice forever.
I realized that Traditional Chinese Medicine was not something special there—it was simply part of everyday life.
That experience became one of the deepest foundations of Yurumari today.
What I Learned at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine
I completed graduate study in Acupuncture and Tuina at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
There, education focused not only on theory and research, but also on how to truly observe patients in clinical practice.
We were taught not to look only at symptoms.
We looked at lifestyle, emotions, climate, seasons, environment, and the patient’s entire way of living.
This is one of the most fascinating—and challenging—parts of Chinese medicine.
The question was never simply “What hurts?”
It was always “Why is this happening now?”
This perspective continues to shape every consultation at Yurumari.
Clinical Training at Shanghai First People’s Hospital
During my clinical training, I belonged to the Acupuncture Department of Shanghai First People’s Hospital.
Shanghai has extremely high humidity, and air conditioning is essential during summer.
Because of this, many patients came with facial nerve paralysis, especially Bell’s palsy caused by cold exposure from air conditioning.
In Japan, people often associate “cold” with winter, but in China, summer air-conditioning is also considered a major source of cold invasion affecting the body.
Seeing climate and environment treated as part of diagnosis so naturally was deeply impressive.
In China, Chinese Medicine Is Daily Life
One of the most surprising things was how naturally patients already understood Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Acupuncture point names were often used like ordinary body part names.
People understood Qi, blood flow, and meridian balance as part of normal conversation.
Traditional Eastern philosophy was not separate from life—it was life itself.
One day, a patient asked the doctor during treatment:
“Why are you placing needles here?”
The needles were at Xuehai and Baichongwo points on the thigh.
The doctor answered very simply:
“Bu Qi.”
It means: “To tonify Qi.”
The patient simply replied:
“Ah, I understand.”
That moment stayed with me.
There was no need for a long explanation because the patient already carried the cultural foundation of Chinese medicine.
This felt very different from Japan.
An Acupuncture Department Supported by the Entire Hospital
At Shanghai First People’s Hospital, acupuncture was fully integrated into hospital medicine.
We would go to the ICU to treat constipation.
We treated frozen shoulder for hospitalized patients.
Neurosurgeons, internal medicine doctors, pharmacists, and nutritionists all came to the acupuncture department and worked closely together.
Acupuncture was not considered “alternative medicine.”
It was simply medicine.
This was one of the most powerful impressions I carried home.
One of the doctors once told me:
Traditional Chinese Medicine still exists today because generations of Chinese medicine doctors protected it through difficult times.
It is not only a medical system—it is also a cultural inheritance.
That sentence stayed with me deeply.
How This Shapes Yurumari
Through these experiences, I learned the importance of not chasing symptoms alone.
Shoulder pain, lower back pain, insomnia, nervous system imbalance—these are only the surface.
We must also look at:
- how the person lives every day
- what kind of stress they carry
- which seasons make symptoms worse
- what they are truly seeking underneath the symptoms
This is the acupuncture philosophy I bring to Yurumari.
In Nagoya Fushimi, I want to offer treatment that goes deeper than symptom management.
I want people to feel truly seen.
Client Experience

This kind of trust is at the center of Yurumari’s care.
