AMEMIYA Internal Medicine
AMEMIYA Internal Medicine is a neighborhood internal medicine clinic tucked into a quiet residential stretch of Fukasawa in Setagaya. This is the kind of place locals go for ongoing health management — think hypertension, diabetes, thyroid issues, respiratory stuff, and general adult health checkups. Not an ER, not a specialist hospital.
The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign — it suggests they’re at least aware that non-Japanese patients exist. But “English on the website” doesn’t automatically mean the staff can hold a medical conversation in English. Realistically, you should expect a Japanese-primary environment. A translation app will help. If your Japanese is zero, calling ahead to ask is smarter than just showing up.
That said, Setagaya is a big, well-resourced ward with a lot of long-term expat residents. Clinics here tend to be used to the occasional non-Japanese patient. Small, local, and practical — this is your everyday health management clinic, not a concierge expat medical center.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a thorough, unhurried doctor who takes time to explain things — a real plus for anyone anxious about navigating Japanese healthcare. Wait times can stretch, especially on weekday mornings when the older local crowd fills the seats early. The clinic is small, clean, and low-key. No frills, no crowds of 200 people like a big hospital. Regulars seem to stick around, which usually means something.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
