Hayamiya Kurinikku

Hayamiya Clinic is a dermatology practice sitting in a quiet residential pocket of Nerima Ward, northwest Tokyo. It’s the kind of neighborhood clinic that serves locals rather than expats, so don’t walk in expecting a bilingual front desk. That said, the clinic’s website has some English-language content, which suggests at least some awareness of international patients — though whether that translates to smooth in-person communication is genuinely unclear.

The clinic covers standard dermatology: skin conditions, rashes, chronic issues, cosmetic concerns. Nerima isn’t a hub for expat life, so if you’re coming from central Tokyo, factor in the commute. For expats already living in Nerima or nearby Saitama suburbs, this is a practical local option worth knowing about.

Bring a translation app, prepare your symptoms in Japanese if you can, and don’t assume the staff will switch to English mid-appointment. The website’s English presence is a decent sign, but go in prepared rather than hopeful.
