Chofu Skin Care Clinic
Chofu Skin Care Clinic is a dermatology practice tucked in the basement of the Central Residence Chofu building in Fuda, a quiet residential part of Chofu City in western Tokyo. It’s about a 5-minute walk from Chofu Station on the Keio Line. The clinic handles the full range of dermatology — acne, eczema, rashes, skin allergies, cosmetic concerns — nothing unusual there.
The English situation is genuinely unclear. Their website has some English-facing elements, but that doesn’t necessarily translate to English-speaking staff at the front desk or during consultations. If you’re going, bring a translation app, have your symptoms written out in Japanese if possible, and don’t assume a smooth English experience. That said, Chofu has a modest expat population and the clinic’s location near a major Keio Line hub makes it accessible from Shinjuku in about 20 minutes.
Good fit for expats who are comfortable navigating Japanese clinics with some preparation. If you need guaranteed English support, confirm directly before booking.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback is limited in English-language sources. Those who have visited generally describe it as a standard neighborhood dermatology clinic — practical, not flashy. Wait times at smaller Chofu clinics can vary, typically shorter than central Tokyo hospital dermatology departments. Doctors appear thorough with diagnoses. The basement location in a residential building gives it a low-key feel. Not a polished cosmetic-focused clinic, more a working dermatology practice.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
