HAYASHI Clinic

HAYASHI Clinic (林医院) is a gynecology practice in Koenji-Kita, Suginami — a residential neighborhood in western Tokyo that’s popular with expats who want to be off the Chuo Line without paying Shinjuku prices. The clinic is run under the medical corporation Hokuryokai and focuses on standard gynecological care: consultations, checkups, contraception, and general women’s health.

The website has some English-facing content, which suggests they’re at least aware that non-Japanese patients exist. Whether that translates to a smooth in-person English experience is genuinely unclear. Reception staff fluency isn’t confirmed, and the forms and signage are almost certainly in Japanese. If you don’t read Japanese, a translation app and some written notes about your situation will go a long way here. This is a neighborhood clinic, not an international medical center — expect a local, no-frills setup rather than a bilingual concierge experience. That said, for routine gynecological visits, plenty of expats navigate similar clinics successfully with a bit of prep.
