Hijirigaoka Byoin

Hijirigaoka Byoin is a general hospital in Tama City, tucked into the residential hills of western Tokyo near Hijirigaoka Station on the Keio Sagamihara Line. It handles internal medicine along with a broader range of inpatient and outpatient care — this isn’t a small neighborhood clinic, it’s a proper hospital with departments and scale to match.

The website has some English-language content, which suggests awareness of international patients, but don’t walk in expecting a bilingual reception desk. Full English support on the ground is unconfirmed. If you’re not comfortable in Japanese, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend. That said, the hospital’s size means it likely has more administrative experience dealing with non-Japanese patients than a solo-practice clinic would.

Located in Tama City rather than central Tokyo, this is most relevant to expats living in the western suburbs — Tama, Machida, or along the Keio line. If that’s your neighborhood, it’s worth knowing about.
