Kyoto web production firm with a dental clinic team, guideline checks and ad operations
About M-HAND (Kyoto office)
M-HAND, Inc. (Kabushiki Kaisha Emuhando) is a website production and web marketing company set up in October 2003. Its Kyoto base sits on the fourth floor of the KDX Karasuma Building in Okura-cho, Nakagyo-ku, and it also runs offices in Higashi-Gotanda in Tokyo and Kyutaromachi in Osaka. The company had 90 employees as of March 2025 and is led by Representative Director Shigenori Yamate. It splits its work into specialist teams by industry, and dental clinics have their own team and a separate section of the website.
Its very first client was a dental clinic that had at first turned its proposal down, and it has now worked on websites for more than 100 dental clinics. A roundup of 50 of these sites breaks them into 34 general clinic sites, 15 sites built around self-pay treatments such as implants and orthodontics, and one recruitment site. Clinics in its portfolio include Enmachi Takechi Dental Clinic, Tsuruyama Dental Clinic Saidaiji, Miho Orthodontic Clinic, Miwa Dental Clinic, Kuwabara Dental, Soja Muraki Dental and Kids Orthodontics, Shin-Yokohama Mamedo Dental and Nishi-Kasai Marina Dental.
Each project follows six stages: hearing, planning with an estimate, contract, design, coding and launch support. One director stays with the clinic throughout, and after launch a web marketer, a customer support person and the director look after the site. Beyond the main clinic site, the team builds landing pages for single treatments, opening announcement sites, recruitment sites with staff interviews and video, and helps clinics choose web booking tools. Marketing work covers SEO, MEO for Google Maps including review replies, listing ads on Google and Yahoo, Indeed and Google Jobs postings, and analytics.
Two services are specific to dentistry. A guideline check has staff review site wording against Japan's Medical Care Act and medical advertising rules, aimed at clinics that previously used non-dental agencies or that are renewing orthodontic society credentials. An optional writing service turns an interview with the clinic director into all of the site copy.
Cases are anonymised by area. A suburban Osaka clinic facing ten nearby competitors raised average monthly new patients by 150 percent. A Kyoto clinic halved its cost per inquiry after a redesign that kept its SEO structure. A low-budget family clinic gets about five inquiries a month from roughly 10,000 yen of monthly listing ads, and a Shikoku orthodontic practice gains about ten new orthodontic patients a month.
Prices are published. Since May 2025 a ten-page clinic introduction site starts at 1,325,500 yen including tax with about three months to delivery, and a twelve-page recruitment site starts at 1,467,400 yen. Line items such as a top page at 330,000 yen and inner pages at 41,250 yen are listed openly. The company was picked as a dental website maker in the Aimitsu RECOMMEND 2020 list and has appeared in the dental management magazine Apollonia 21.
