Dr.Taro Kusano Clinic
Dr. Taro Kusano Clinic is a dermatology practice on the 4th floor of the Aqua Meguro building in Kamiosaki, Shinagawa — a short walk from Meguro or Osaki Station. Dr. Kusano handles the usual dermatology range: acne, eczema, skin allergies, moles, and general skin concerns. The clinic has conversational English capability, meaning you can get through a consultation without needing a Japanese-speaking friend to tag along. Don’t expect full bilingual staff at reception, but the communication gap is manageable. Some English-language resources are available. It’s a smaller, neighborhood-style clinic rather than a large hospital setting — appointments tend to feel more personal. If you’re an expat in the Shinagawa or Meguro area dealing with a skin issue and don’t want to trek to a big international hospital, this is a practical option worth knowing about.
Patient Feedback
Patients generally describe a calm, unhurried clinic atmosphere. Dr. Kusano is noted for being thorough in explaining diagnoses rather than rushing through appointments. Wait times are typically reasonable for a neighborhood clinic. The smaller scale works in your favor — you’re not a number in a queue. Some patients mention follow-up care feels attentive. No major complaints about communication difficulties for English speakers.
