Fussa Byoin

Fussa Byoin (公立福生病院) is a public hospital in Fussa City, on the western edge of Tokyo near Yokota Air Base. Because of that proximity, the hospital has more exposure to international patients than most suburban Tokyo facilities — it’s not a dedicated expat clinic, but the foreign community in the area has been using it for years out of necessity and convenience.

The dermatology department handles the full range of skin conditions — rashes, eczema, acne, chronic conditions, moles — standard public hospital scope. You’re not getting a boutique experience here. It’s a busy, functional Japanese hospital with all that entails: numbered tickets, waiting rooms, the works.

Their website has some English-language content, which suggests awareness of foreign patients, but don’t expect fluent English at every desk. Come prepared with a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend if your condition is complicated to explain. For straightforward skin issues near Fussa, it’s a practical option — especially if you’re based near Yokota.
