Hashimoto Clinic

Hashimoto Clinic is a dermatology practice in Nerima, a residential ward in northwest Tokyo that’s a bit off the beaten path for most expats but well-connected by the Seibu and Toei Oedo lines. The clinic handles standard skin concerns — acne, eczema, rashes, mole checks — the kind of day-to-day dermatology issues that bring most people through the door.

English is listed as basic, so expect consultations to run primarily in Japanese. Simple written communication or pointing at symptoms on your phone can help bridge the gap for straightforward complaints, but if you have a complex condition requiring detailed back-and-forth, consider bringing a Japanese-speaking friend or preparing notes in Japanese beforehand. The clinic has a website worth checking ahead of your visit for hours and appointment options. No patient ratings exist yet in this directory, so there’s no crowd-sourced experience to draw from. If you’re already living in Nerima and need a local dermatologist without trekking into central Tokyo, this is a reasonable first stop for uncomplicated skin issues.
