Aoyama Akashi Clinic

Aoyama Akashi Clinic is a small internal medicine practice tucked into a ground-floor unit of the Piroti Aoyama building in Minami-Aoyama — one of Tokyo’s more expat-friendly neighborhoods, so at least the surrounding area won’t feel totally foreign. The clinic handles general adult medicine: think checkups, chronic condition management, colds, fatigue, the usual internal medicine territory.

Their website has some English content, which suggests awareness that non-Japanese patients exist. But “some English online” doesn’t automatically mean smooth English communication at the front desk or during consultations. It’s genuinely unclear whether staff can hold a full English conversation or whether you’d be leaning on a translation app for anything beyond the basics. If your Japanese is zero, call ahead or bring backup.

It’s a small clinic, not a big international hospital — so expect a more personal, less bureaucratic feel, but also fewer resources dedicated to foreign patient support. Good for expats living nearby who want a local GP rather than trekking to a major international clinic every time something minor comes up.
