Akebono clinic

Akebono Clinic is a dermatology practice located in Shinjuku, one of Tokyo’s most accessible districts with excellent train connections from across the city. The clinic handles the standard range of skin concerns you’d expect from a general dermatologist — acne, eczema, rashes, and other common conditions.

English support is basic, meaning staff can likely manage simple exchanges but don’t expect in-depth medical conversations in English. If your condition involves nuanced symptoms or detailed treatment questions, bring a Japanese-speaking friend or prepare written notes in Japanese beforehand. Translation apps will probably get you through a straightforward visit.

The clinic has a website, which is worth checking before you go for hours and appointment information, though it may be Japanese-only. Since there are no patient ratings yet, there’s no community feedback to draw from when setting expectations. Shinjuku has no shortage of dermatology options, so if you need stronger English support, it may be worth comparing nearby alternatives — but for a routine skin issue where communication demands are low, Akebono is a reasonable option to consider.
