green forest dermatology clinic
Green Forest Dermatology Clinic sits on the third floor of the Kuniya Building in Yotsuya, Shinjuku — a quiet, residential-ish pocket of the ward that’s easy to reach but not the chaos of Shinjuku Station itself. They handle standard dermatology: acne, eczema, rashes, skin allergies, and cosmetic concerns.
The English situation is genuinely unclear. Their website has some English-facing content, which suggests awareness of international patients, but whether that translates to an English-speaking receptionist or doctor in the room is not confirmed. You might get lucky, or you might be navigating with Google Translate and hand gestures. Come prepared with photos of your symptoms and written notes in Japanese if you can manage it.
For straightforward skin issues — something you can point at — language barriers tend to matter less. For anything nuanced involving your history or medications, bring backup.
Nearest station is Yotsuya, about a short walk away. Booking ahead is advisable.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a fairly efficient clinic without long waits. The doctor is described as methodical and willing to explain, though how much of that explanation lands depends on your Japanese. The atmosphere is calm rather than rushed. Some patients report getting by fine with minimal Japanese; others found it trickier for follow-up questions. Nothing alarming in the feedback — just a typical neighborhood dermatology experience.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
