Narimasu Station (Fukutoshin Line) — 2 min walk
  • Conversational English staff confirmed
  • Near central Tokyo
  • Hasegawa Ganka is an ophthalmology clinic on the second floor of the Medipark Narimasu building, a short walk from Narimasu Station on the Tobu Tojo Line in Itabashi. It’s a neighborhood eye clinic — think routine exams, glasses and contact lens prescriptions, dry eye, and general eye conditions rather than complex surgical cases.

    Staff have conversational English, which means you can get through an appointment without resorting entirely to Google Translate, though having a few key phrases ready never hurts. Some English resources are available, so forms and basic communication shouldn’t be a total scramble.

    This is a practical, no-frills local clinic. Good for expats living in the Itabashi or Nerima area who need regular eye care without trekking to central Tokyo. Don’t expect a big international hospital setup — expect a competent neighborhood specialist who can actually talk to you.

    Patient Feedback

    Patients describe a calm, local clinic atmosphere without long waits typical of larger hospital eye departments. The doctor is thorough on routine exams and takes time to explain findings. It’s a small practice, so appointments tend to move at a reasonable pace. Nothing flashy, but consistently reliable for the kind of everyday eye care most people actually need — prescriptions, dry eye, irritation, annual checks.

    English Language Proficiency

    Staff can hold a basic conversation in English — enough to take your history, explain what the exam involves, and get through a prescription appointment. Don't expect fluent clinical English, but you won't be left completely in the dark either. Some English materials are available at the clinic. A translation app on your phone is still worth having for anything detailed or nuanced. Definitely more accessible than your average Japanese neighborhood clinic.
