hiratsuka-cl

Hiratsuka Clinic is a dermatology practice sitting on the second floor of the Ken-A Building in Itabashi’s Hasune neighborhood — not the most central part of Tokyo, but a genuinely local area where you’re more likely to be the only foreigner in the waiting room. The clinic is run under the medical corporation Bisei-kai and handles the standard dermatology range: skin conditions, rashes, acne, and likely cosmetic concerns too.

The website has some English-facing content, which suggests they’ve thought about international patients at least a little. But “some English online” doesn’t automatically mean the staff can hold a medical conversation in English. If your Japanese is zero, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend. You probably won’t be turned away, but you also shouldn’t expect a fully English-language experience. For expats living in the Itabashi area who need a local skin doctor without trekking to central Tokyo, this is worth knowing about.
