Aoyama dori Hifuka
Aoyama dori Hifuka is a dermatology clinic situated in Minato, one of Tokyo’s more accessible and expat-familiar neighborhoods. As a specialist skin clinic, it handles the typical range of dermatological concerns — acne, eczema, rashes, moles, and general skin conditions — that you’d expect from a neighborhood practice.
English support is listed as basic, which in practical terms means don’t count on smooth back-and-forth conversation. The doctor or staff may manage simple exchanges, but anything nuanced — describing symptoms accurately, understanding treatment instructions — will likely require preparation on your part. Bringing a written summary of your symptoms in Japanese, or using a translation app, will make the visit go considerably smoother.
The clinic has a website, which is worth checking before you go for hours and any online appointment options. No patient reviews exist yet in this directory, so there’s no community feedback to draw from. If you’re dealing with a straightforward skin issue and are comfortable bridging a language gap, it’s a reasonable option given the convenient Minato location.
Patient Feedback

Doctors are reported to be thorough and direct, which is what you want when you’re trying to figure out
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
