Hayashi Kurinikku

Hayashi Clinic is a dermatology practice in Machida, a suburban city in southwestern Tokyo that’s firmly residential — this isn’t the expat-dense neighborhood of central Tokyo, so don’t expect bilingual staff waiting at the door. The clinic has some English content on its website, which suggests awareness of non-Japanese patients, but actual in-clinic English support is unconfirmed. If you’re in the Machida area and dealing with a skin issue — rashes, acne, eczema, whatever’s going on — this is a legitimate local dermatology option worth trying. Bring a translation app, write your symptoms down in Japanese beforehand if you can, and manage expectations around communication. The clinic operates as a standard Japanese neighborhood dermatology practice under a medical corporation structure, which generally means solid, no-frills clinical care. Not a boutique international clinic. A real local doctor’s office.
