  • Aiji Clinic (愛児クリニック) is a pediatric clinic tucked into the fourth floor of the Maruki Building in Yamabuki-cho, Shinjuku. It’s a bit off the main drag, so you’ll want to look up the building before you go — fourth-floor clinics in Japan can be easy to walk past.

    The clinic focuses entirely on kids, so if your child is sick or needs a checkup, this is the right specialty. The website (ig-clinic.com) has some English-facing content, which suggests they’ve at least thought about non-Japanese patients. That said, full English service isn’t confirmed — don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a smooth English conversation. Bring a translation app, prep key phrases, or bring a Japanese-speaking friend if your Japanese is limited.

    For expat parents in Shinjuku who need a local pediatrician rather than trekking to a big international hospital, this is worth knowing about. Just go in with realistic expectations on language.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback on Aiji Clinic is limited in English-language sources, which itself tells you something — most patients are likely Japanese-speaking locals. Those who do review it generally describe a straightforward neighborhood pediatric experience: standard wait times, a focused child-specific environment, and doctors who take symptoms seriously rather than rushing you out. It’s not a flashy clinic. It’s a working pediatrician’s office. Expect a small waiting area sized for kids, not adults pacing around on laptops.

    English Language Proficiency

    The website has some English content, which is a decent sign — but it doesn't confirm English-speaking staff at reception or with the doctor. Realistically, you should prepare for a Japanese-primary environment. A translation app like Google Translate or DeepL will help. If your child's situation is complex or involves detailed medical history, consider writing key points down in Japanese beforehand or bringing a bilingual friend. Don't show up cold expecting full English service and then be frustrated.
