Meiji-Jingu Mae Station (Fukutoshin Line) — 2 min walk
  • Conversational English at reception
  • Near central Tokyo
  • RD Clinic Shinjuku sits on the 7th floor of the Shinjuku CR Building in Yoyogi, Shibuya — technically Shibuya ward, but a short walk from Shinjuku Station, so don’t overthink it. This is a dermatology-focused clinic under the Hojo-kai medical corporation, and their website (rederm.com) leans heavily into skin treatment, including cosmetic and medical dermatology.

    English capability here is conversational — staff can handle the basics, and they have some English resources available. You won’t need to show up with a full translation app arsenal, but don’t expect a fully bilingual consultation either. Bring your Japanese health insurance card and any medication names written out clearly.

    The clinic covers both aesthetic and clinical dermatology, so whether you’re dealing with a stubborn rash or thinking about skin treatments, this is a reasonable option in a very central part of Tokyo. Book ahead — walk-ins at specialist clinics in this part of the city are hit or miss.

    Patient Feedback

    Patients generally find the clinic professional and organized. The 7th-floor location means you’re in a proper medical building, not a converted retail space. Wait times can run longer during peak hours, so booking an appointment online is the move. Doctors are reported to be thorough on diagnosis. The cosmetic side of the practice is prominent, but standard dermatology needs are handled without being upsold aggressively.

    English Language Proficiency

    Reception can manage basic English — enough to confirm appointments, explain wait times, and get through standard intake questions. Don't expect a fully bilingual consultation, but the conversational level is genuine, not just "hello/thank you" territory. Some written resources are available in English. For complex symptom descriptions, having a notes app with your key phrases ready in Japanese is still a smart backup. Overall, more accessible than the average Tokyo dermatology clinic.
