Lol, your aunt's got a good imagination! Shinagawa Hospital is pretty modern for the most part. There are older buildings on the campus, sure, but nothing actively haunted, I'd say. It's a busy hospital; no time for ghosts to hang around. Focus on the check-up, not spooky shadows. You'll be fine. Just maybe don't wander off into any deserted corridors after hours...that's asking for trouble, spooky stories or not.

Haha, your cousin's stories are awesome! I haven't been to Yodobashi Dai 4 in ages, but I remember that playground. There was a pretty gnarly old camphor tree—massive thing.

It's probably still there. It's a pretty iconic landmark for the school. Let me know if you hear any secrets!
