Hoya Iin

Hoya Iin is a neighborhood internal medicine clinic in Minami-Oizumi, Nerima — the kind of place locals have been going to for years rather than a flashy urban medical center. It sits in a quieter residential corner of west Tokyo, which means shorter waits than you’d find near major hubs, but also less infrastructure for foreign patients. The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but that doesn’t guarantee you’ll find English-speaking staff at the front desk. For straightforward internal medicine needs — think checkups, chronic condition management, cold and flu, referrals — this clinic likely does the job. If you need complex consultations or have nuanced medical history to explain, bring a Japanese-speaking friend or a solid translation app. Not a clinic built for expats, but not hostile to them either.
