"AcuCast™," a Casting Service Specializing in Nationally Licensed Acupuncturists, Launches

Japan Acupuncture Casting Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Koto-ku, Tokyo) began offering "AcuCast™," a casting service specializing in nationally licensed acupuncturists and moxibustionists, on September 1, 2026.

Under corporate contracts, it provides in one package on-site acupuncture and online content as employee benefits and health management measures for companies, as well as expert casting for articles, product planning, lectures and media appearances.

Acupuncturist casting that supports health and productivity management

In recent years, efforts toward "health and productivity management," which views employee health from a management perspective, have been spreading. More companies are designing employee health measures not merely as benefits but as investments in their people.

Meanwhile, the main careers of acupuncturists and moxibustionists have centered on working at treatment clinics or opening their own. Even when companies and media considered making requests to nationally licensed acupuncturists, there was a lack of a clear point of contact for checking their qualifications, careers and areas of expertise and choosing the right person.

Based on this background, AcuCast provides a system in which companies, media and acupuncturists can all do business with confidence. It unifies the whole process of "finding, verifying and requesting" acupuncturists for corporate clients, supporting smooth matching.

On-site acupuncture and online content for companies

Through AcuCast, registered acupuncturists visit a company's office and provide "on-site acupuncture," performing treatment in a private room such as a meeting room.

AcuCast serves as the point of contact for scheduling, gathering requests and handling changes on the day, and treatment is voluntary participation by the individual based on a questionnaire and consent form. Personal information related to treatment, such as questionnaire responses, is not shared with the client company.

In addition to on-site acupuncture, online seminars by registered acupuncturists (seasonal health care, the thinking behind Eastern medicine, and more) and online content that can be delivered to employees (videos, columns, etc.) will also be offered in due course.

This makes it possible to deliver the same content to all employees, including those on non-office days, remote workers and companies with multiple locations. Proposals combining treatment with seminars and content will also be made so that it is easy to carry out continuously as a health and productivity management effort.

Supervision, speaking and media appearances that draw on expertise

Assuming companies in the cosmetics, beauty, health food and wellness industries and media in the beauty and healthcare fields as its main clients, it also provides expert casting.

For situations that call for specialized knowledge of Eastern medicine, such as supervising articles and product planning, speaking at lectures and in-house training, and appearing on television, in magazines and on web media, it casts acupuncturists suited to the theme and the medium.

AcuCast's reassuring service structure

For AcuCast, Japan Acupuncture Casting Co., Ltd. accepts requests as the prime contractor, selects acupuncturists who have passed the registration screening, and provides the services.

Registered acupuncturists are only those who hold the national qualifications of acupuncturist and moxibustionist and who have gone through AcuCast's registration screening (verification of license certificates and careers, and agreement to a code of conduct). The company handles all contact with clients, scheduling, confirmation of terms and quality control.

In addition, in accordance with relevant laws including the Act on Practitioners of Massage, Acupressure, Acupuncture and Moxibustion, it does not present guidance that promotes specific symptoms or effects. What it provides is described as "an opportunity to experience treatment and knowledge from experts who hold national qualifications."

Personal information related to treatment is not shared with the client company, and acupuncturists' names and likenesses are used only within the scope of their permission.

Comment from Representative Director Fumie Hamada

Fumie Hamada, Representative Director of Japan Acupuncture Casting Co., Ltd., says that, from about 10 years of experience in the beauty industry and from obtaining the national qualifications of acupuncturist and moxibustionist, she felt a problem: even when companies and media want to "ask a proper acupuncturist," they do not know how to find and verify one.

Hamada comments, "AcuCast is a company for removing that barrier. For acupuncturists too, we will provide options to put their expertise to use outside of treatment clinics, in the reassuring form of a corporate contract."
