  • Clinic Iizuka is a small internal medicine practice on the 5th floor of Hikitaka Gotanda Building in Nishi-Gotanda, Shinagawa. It handles the standard internal medicine workload — colds, fevers, chronic condition management, blood pressure, diabetes, that kind of thing. Nothing flashy, but that’s not what you’re looking for when you feel terrible on a Tuesday.

    The clinic has some English-language content on its website, which is a decent sign. But “website has English” and “you can actually communicate at reception” are two different things. Full English service here is unconfirmed, so if your Japanese is limited, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend as backup. Don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a smooth English conversation.

    Location-wise, Nishi-Gotanda is quiet and residential compared to the busier Gotanda Station side — easier to navigate, less overwhelming. The building is a standard small office block, fifth floor. Gotanda Station is your access point, served by the Tokyu Ikegami, Tokyu池上, and Toei Asakusa lines, plus the JR Yamanote line.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback on this clinic is limited in English-language spaces, so the picture is incomplete. It appears to operate as a typical neighborhood naika (内科) — efficient, no-frills, focused on getting you diagnosed and out the door. Wait times at smaller Shinagawa clinics like this tend to be shorter than at big hospital outpatients. Expect a brief consultation rather than a long exploratory chat with the doctor.

    English Language Proficiency

    The clinic has some English on its website, which suggests at least some awareness of non-Japanese patients. But that doesn't guarantee English-speaking staff at the front desk or during consultation. Realistically, this is probably a Japanese-first environment. Forms are almost certainly in Japanese only. If you go, use Google Translate or a medical translation app. Having your symptoms written down in Japanese beforehand will save you time and frustration.
