Hiro Clinic’s Benefits
Hiro Clinic has a range of more detailed tests that are not available in obstetrics and gynaecology.
Ultrasound examination
Family members can be present during the ultrasound examination. Only one family member can be present due to the convenience of the examination room, but you and your family can see your baby together. Enjoy the sight of your baby moving in your belly.
Please note that if you come to the clinic with children (pre-schoolers), staff will accompany them in the waiting room during the ultrasound examination.

Getting NIPT in Omiya, Saitama: How Hiro Clinic Differs from Certified Facilities
If you are considering NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) in Omiya or elsewhere in Saitama, it helps to understand the difference between certified and non-certified facilities before choosing where to test. Hiro Clinic NIPT Omiya Ekimae Clinic is a non-certified facility. Comparing five points — testing scope, age restrictions, referral letters, turnaround time, and cost — will help you find the option that suits you best.
Certified vs. Non-Certified (Hiro Clinic) Facilities: Comparison Table
The main differences between the two come down to testing flexibility and ease of access. The table below summarizes how to choose between them in Omiya and Saitama.
| Comparison | Certified Facilities | Hiro Clinic NIPT Omiya Ekimae Clinic (Non-Certified) |
|---|---|---|
| Testing scope | Mainly limited to the three trisomies (21, 18, 13). Fetal sex is not disclosed. | Covers the three basic conditions plus all chromosomes, microdeletion/duplication syndromes (up to 143 types), and fetal sex. |
| Age restrictions | Often limited to mothers aged 35 or older at delivery. | No age restrictions. Open to all pregnant women. |
| Referral letter | Usually requires a referral from your primary OB-GYN. | No referral required. Testing is available once a fetal heartbeat is confirmed. |
| Turnaround time | Typically 1–2 weeks, as samples are often sent overseas. | In partnership with a domestic testing institution, results average around 5 days, as fast as 2 days. |
| Cost | Varies by facility. | Plans range from around ¥60,000 for the basic three conditions up to full-coverage plans. |
| How to test | Generally requires an in-person visit. | In-person visits are available, plus an at-home option (“Ouchi NIPT”) that can be completed without visiting the clinic. |
No Difference in Testing Accuracy
There is no difference in testing accuracy between certified and non-certified facilities. If you are worried that accuracy might be lower at a non-certified facility, you do not need to be.
Most certified facilities in Japan use Illumina’s VeriSeq NIPT Solution V2. Hiro Clinic was the first in Japan to introduce this same system, so testing is carried out to the same standard.
About the “Tokyo Health Inspection Center,” Which Handles Testing
NIPT at Omiya Ekimae Clinic is carried out in partnership with a domestic testing institution. The organization that handles testing is the “Tokyo Health Inspection Center.”
The Tokyo Health Inspection Center is a testing institution that was accredited as an NIPT-certified facility from 2022 to 2024. Because we work with a domestic testing institution, results can be delivered in around 5 days on average, as fast as 2 days. Shortening the anxious wait for results is one reason patients in Omiya and Saitama choose us.
Why Choose Omiya Ekimae Clinic in Omiya/Saitama
