Aoyoko Ganka

Aoyoko Ganka is an ophthalmology clinic tucked into the residential side of Shinagawa, in Minami-Shinagawa — a quieter pocket than the main station area, but still very reachable. They handle the full range of eye care: routine checkups, glasses and contact lens prescriptions, dry eye, cataracts, glaucoma screening. The website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a smooth English conversation at the front desk. Come prepared with your symptoms written down, or a translation app ready. This isn’t a foreigner-specialist clinic — it’s a neighborhood eye doctor that happens to have made some effort toward accessibility. If your Japanese is zero, you’ll probably manage, but it won’t be effortless. For straightforward eye issues or contact lens prescriptions, that’s usually fine. For anything complex or nuanced, consider bringing a Japanese-speaking friend.
