Whenever we return to Shizuoka, one of the people we always look forward to seeing is Dr. Mitsui.
He runs his clinic in the Healing Forest, a mountainous area in Izunokuni City known as Star Hills, a region filled with villas.

This vacation rental facility features a collection of stylish mansions, each available for exclusive rental. On this particular day, we had the opportunity to tour the newest addition to the property—a beautifully designed villa that was just recently completed.

Apparently, the doctor acquires all of the antique furniture through online auctions. How delightful.

Today we were also provided with sweets and enjoyed them along with herbal tea on the pleasant, sunny terrace.

A project for Mishima Taisha Shrine will be launched next year, and we would like to work on the production at Star Hills, so we asked for his cooperation, which he readily agreed to.

Dr. Mitsui is a truly remarkable doctor—one who not only brings healing and care to his patients but also uplifts the spirit of creativity in others. He lives with a deep appreciation for life and actively supports those involved in the arts, music, painting, and other creative pursuits. His compassion and encouragement make a lasting difference, both in the world of medicine and in the hearts of the people he inspires.
