Heisei Kagura Kurinikku

Heisei Kagura Clinic is a psychiatric clinic tucked into the basement level of the Nobby Building in Kagurazaka, Shinjuku — one of Tokyo’s more relaxed, low-key neighborhoods, which honestly suits a mental health clinic pretty well. They handle the usual psychiatric range: depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, ADHD, and adjustment difficulties, which is a real one for expats navigating life in Japan.

The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a good sign, but don’t assume that means fluent English-speaking staff at reception or in consultation. It likely means they’re aware that non-Japanese patients exist and have made some effort. Whether that translates to a smooth appointment without Japanese support is genuinely unclear. If your Japanese is limited, bring a translation app or a bilingual friend for the first visit. That said, psychiatric care in Japan that makes any English accommodation at all is already a shorter list than you’d hope.
