AYASE UEMURA EYE CLINIC

Ayase Uemura Eye Clinic sits on the second floor of the Souzen Building in Ayase, Adachi — a quieter residential corner of northeast Tokyo that doesn’t see many expats, but is genuinely easy to reach from Ayase Station on the Chiyoda Line or Joban Line.

This is a standard neighborhood ophthalmology clinic. They handle the full range of eye care: vision checks, glaucoma screening, dry eye, cataracts, and general eye complaints. The clinic has some English content on its website, which suggests some awareness of non-Japanese patients, but don’t walk in expecting a bilingual receptionist or English intake forms. Realistically, you’ll want to bring a Japanese-speaking friend or lean on a translation app for anything beyond pointing at your eye and saying where it hurts.

That said, neighborhood eye clinics like this in Japan are often more thorough and less rushed than equivalents elsewhere. If your Japanese is functional or you have backup, this is a solid, accessible option in Adachi.
