In 1951 the seeds of \u6771\u5927\u548c\u75c5\u9662 were sown. The medical corporation Daiwakai was established. It founded the Daiwa Hospital with 150 beds. This was made possible by the donation of land and buildings. These belonged to the Tachikawa Air Machine Co. After the war Nikkokogyo Co. took over.
Located in Yamato Town which later became Higashiyamato City in 1970 the hospital started small. It had 62 employees and 150 beds. It was built thanks to a donation from Nikko Kogyo after World War II.
In 1970 with national aid a new three-story hospital ward was built. It had 182 beds. It featured soundproofing and elevators. Despite the new building funds for a parking lot were lacking. On windy days sand would swirl around. Only about 100 patients visited each day. It was a struggle to attract patients.
To mark Daiwakai’s 50th anniversary a new ward was completed in 1989. The hospital changed its name to \u6771\u5927\u548c\u75c5\u9662. It had 196 beds. The seven-story hospital was built to adapt to the changing region. The renaming was due to multiple Daiwa Hospitals nationwide. This caused trouble with building materials and lab results being sent to the wrong place.
