  • Hitsujinomori Mental Clinic sits on the 4th floor of the Dai-2 Nomura Building in Higashi-Gotanda, Shinagawa — a fairly convenient spot if you’re coming from central Tokyo or living in the south side of the city. Despite the name having “mental” in it, this clinic is listed under internal medicine, so the scope may be broader than pure psychiatry or psychology.

    The website has some English-facing content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and get fluent English service from everyone at the desk. It’s one of those clinics where the effort is there but the execution depends heavily on who’s working that day. If you’re dealing with something that requires nuanced communication — mental health especially — bring a bilingual friend or a solid translation app as backup. That said, the fact that they’ve made any effort with English at all puts them ahead of most comparable clinics in the area.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback on this clinic is limited in English-language spaces, which makes it harder to give you a confident picture. What the setup suggests: it’s a smaller clinic in a standard office building, so expect a quieter, more private atmosphere than a big hospital. Wait times at smaller clinics like this can be shorter, but scheduling matters. The internal medicine framing means the doctor likely handles a range of general health concerns rather than deep specialist work.

    English Language Proficiency

    The clinic has made some attempt at English accessibility — there's English content visible online, which at minimum means they're aware foreign patients exist. But "some English online" doesn't mean reception speaks English fluently or that intake forms are bilingual. Realistically, you may hit a language wall at the front desk. A translation app will help. If your concern involves mental health or anything requiring real back-and-forth, consider bringing a Japanese-speaking friend or arranging a phone interpreter in advance.
