Hi mods, hopefully this Kyoto-related travel question is specific enough and not too general to be allowed here, I'm hoping that people living in Kyoto may have better insights to my question.
Hi all, the wife and I are planning to visit Kyoto next year probably during the sakura season. Unfortunately I am a dialysis patient and thus needs to use the services there (I need dialysis 3 times a week).
I've been trying to use Google search, and cross-reference the names of centers and hospitals that provide dialysis services, but I'm a little overwhelmed.
I'm kind of looking for a center/hospital that:
1) Provides services to foreigners/tourists
and (2) is next to or near a train station.
FYI, the 2-3 hours after a dialysis session is grueling, my body feels like I just ran a marathon and super tired, hence not having to walk far to the station to go back to the hotel to rest is essential.
Once I can determine which center to go for, I should be able to look at the map and trace train routes and determine which hotels, ryokans or airbnbs would be best along the line.
If anyone knows of a hospital or a dialysis center right next to a train station in Kyoto, that would be the absolute perfect combo
Thank you so much in advance!

I remember seeing one close to nijo station:

when I looked for that link there, google maps also showed me this one:

this is however a bit further from any station and most likely too far to walk.
Maybe taking a taxi would make sense / be a solution for that one.
I have no data or experience about services for foreigners, how to get an appointment and or cost. I suggest you contact both places and ask, if they service foreigners, they should be able to confirm and give you all relevant information. if they dont answer, chances are, there is a reason, and the biggest one would be they cant or dont want to help you.
Edit: the second one has an english webpage indicating it is what you are looking for:

(except the perfect location, but again, a taxi will solve this)
