Hinohara Memorial Clinic

Hinohara Memorial Clinic sits on the second floor of a Keikyu building in Takanawa, Minato-ku — not flashy, but solid. It’s an internal medicine clinic run under the Life Planning Center foundation, which has a long history of preventive and general adult healthcare in Japan. Think thorough check-ups, ongoing condition management, and the kind of doctor who actually listens rather than rushing you out in four minutes.

English capability here is conversational — staff can get through the basics with you, and there are some English resources available. You won’t need to show up with a full translation toolkit, but having your medical history written down in simple English before your visit is always smart. This isn’t a fully bilingual clinic, so complex nuanced conversations about symptoms may hit a wall. That said, for expats who need reliable internal medicine care in central Tokyo without the premium price tag of a fully international clinic, it’s a practical and legitimate option worth knowing about.
