Hayashi Clinic

Hayashi Clinic is a neighborhood dermatology practice in Komode, Itabashi — residential, local, not the kind of place that markets itself to expats. They handle the usual skin stuff: acne, eczema, rashes, moles, and general dermatological concerns. The clinic has some English content on their website, which is a decent sign, but that doesn’t guarantee smooth English communication at the front desk or during your appointment. Realistically, this is a Japanese-primary clinic. If your Japanese is basic or nonexistent, bring a translation app or a bilingual friend. That said, dermatology is one of the easier specialties to navigate with limited language overlap — you can point at what’s wrong. The clinic is a short walk from Tokiwadai Station on the Tobu Tojo Line. It’s not in central Tokyo, so you’re looking at a commute if you’re based in Shibuya or Shinjuku, but for Itabashi residents it’s a convenient local option.
