Hanawa Child Clinic

Hanawa Child Clinic is a small pediatric practice tucked into Nihonbashi Hamacho, a quiet residential pocket of Chuo that most expats walk past without noticing. It’s a traditional Japanese neighborhood clinic — the kind run by a single doctor who knows the local families by name. They handle the usual pediatric range: checkups, vaccinations, fevers, rashes, and developmental concerns for kids from newborns through school age.

The website has some English-language content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fully bilingual consultation. English capability here is partial at best. A translation app is your friend. If your Japanese is zero and your child is seriously unwell, you may want to call ahead or bring someone who can bridge the gap. That said, for expats in Chuo with kids, having a local pediatrician this close beats the commute to a bigger international clinic for routine visits.
