anzu mental clinic

anzu mental clinic (あんず心のクリニック) sits on the 4th floor of the Takeda Building in Bunkyo’s Sekiguchi neighborhood — a quiet, residential part of Tokyo that’s a bit off the beaten path compared to shinier clinic districts. Despite the name reading as “mental clinic,” it’s registered under Internal Medicine, so expect a general medicine focus rather than pure psychiatry.

The website has some English-language content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume that translates to a fully English-ready front desk. Bunkyo isn’t a heavy expat area, so English fluency here likely varies by staff member. Come prepared with a translation app or written notes about your symptoms. That said, the clinic’s name — anzu, meaning apricot — hints at a softer, more welcoming atmosphere than your average sterile medical office. Smaller clinic, 4th floor walk-up vibe, likely appointment-based. If you’re near Edogawabashi or Mejiro, this is geographically workable. Not the most expat-optimized clinic in Tokyo, but worth knowing about if you’re in the area.
