Ayase Ladies CLinic

Ayase Ladies Clinic sits in Katsushika — not the most expat-heavy corner of Tokyo, but a real neighborhood clinic serving local women for obstetrics, gynecology, and postnatal care. The full Japanese name flags what they’re actually focused on: 産後ケア (postnatal care) is a big part of their identity, which is useful to know if you’re pregnant or recently gave birth.

The website has some English-facing content, which suggests they’re at least aware that non-Japanese speakers exist. But “some English online” doesn’t mean smooth English consultations in person. Realistically, you should expect a Japanese-primary environment. A translation app will help. Bringing a Japanese-speaking friend for anything complicated — like a first OB appointment or discussing test results — is the smarter move.

For routine gynecology visits, you might manage fine with preparation. For maternity care or postnatal support, the language gap matters more. Worth a phone call or email before booking if you want to gauge comfort level.
