(Synopsis) "Dr. Koto's Clinic" takes place on the fictitious Shikina Island. The drama was actually filmed on location on the beautiful Yonaguni—one of the islands in the Yaeyama island chain.

Yonaguni Island is located some 2,030 km from Tokyo, 509 km from Okinawa, and 111 km from Taiwan. On a sunny day, the mountain range of Taiwan is visible from the island. The sea is filled with coral reefs, and is a very popular diving spot. The sea surrounding Yonaguni Island is the home to the dogtooth tuna, and hammerhead sharks. The ancient ruins located underwater, are the subject of intense interest of archeologists today. Yonaguni is also known for its fishing spots, where marlin weighing 80-200 kg, are regularly reeled in. Some lucky fishers have even come across marlin larger than 400 kg.

The Yonaguni Horse is the smallest of the eight different types of native Japanese horses that exist. Another unique creature of Yonaguni Island is the world's largest moth called yonagunisan (or ayami habiru.) Its wing span can exceed 30 cm.

After first airing in 2003 as a drama series, and as a two day special in 2004, Dr. Koto is back with all the same cast.

February 2006, Shikina Island. Dr. Koto is riding his bicycle to visit his patients. He is told by one of them that Takehiro-one of the boys who was brought up on this island-has passed the entrance exam for a junior high school in Tokyo. The island is filled with excitement at the wonderful news. Meanwhile, the island's only nurse, Ayaka, is in Tokyo. She said that she is going to attend a rehabilitation seminar. But actually, she has gone to Tokyo for a medical examination...

On the ship heading back to the island, Ayaka encounters Mina, who is having a quarrel with a drunken man. The Shikina Island mayor steps in and accidentally tumbles down a flight of stairs. Ayaka immediately contacts Dr. Koto for instructions and gives the mayor first-aid treatment.

As soon as they arrive on the island, Dr. Koto gets ready for the mayor's operation. Ayaka is surprised when Mina volunteers to help out. She turns out to be the new nurse to be stationed on the island. However, she doesn't even know how to handle an anesthesia machine. At one point, she almost mistakenly hooks up a different fluid for an IV. What's worse, she faints in the middle of the operation. Her rude behavior and attitude has Ayaka at her wit's end. Dr. Koto tries to calm Ayaka down when he receives a phone call from a hospital in Tokyo. He is shocked to hear the results of Ayaka's medical examination and her condition ...
