HOSAKA Psycho-Oncology Clinic
HOSAKA Psycho-Oncology Clinic sits on the 6th floor of the Tsukiji Asakawa Building in Chuo, Tokyo — a quiet, private setting that makes sense for what they do. This is a specialist psychiatric clinic focused specifically on psycho-oncology, meaning mental health care for people dealing with cancer: the anxiety, depression, and psychological weight that comes with a diagnosis, treatment, or survivorship.
That’s a genuinely rare niche. Most psychiatrists in Japan aren’t trained in this intersection, so if you’re an expat navigating cancer care here and your mental health is suffering, this clinic is worth knowing about.
The website has some English content, which suggests awareness of international patients — but whether reception can hold a full English conversation or whether appointments run smoothly in English is unclear. Come prepared with some Japanese support if possible, or at least use a translation app. The Tsukiji/Akebonobashi area is well-connected, close to Tsukiji Station on the Hibiya Line.
Patient Feedback
Public patient reviews for this clinic are thin, which isn’t surprising given the sensitive nature of the specialty. What comes through from available signals: the clinic is small and intentionally low-profile, which patients in this situation often prefer. Dr. Hosaka has a published academic background in psycho-oncology, which gives the practice real credibility. Expect a quieter, more reflective appointment style rather than a fast-moving consultation. This isn’t a high-volume clinic.
English Language Proficiency
