Igarashi hifuka higashigotanda

Igarashi Hifuka is a dermatology clinic in Higashi-Gotanda, a quieter commercial area in Shinagawa that’s easy to reach from Gotanda Station on the Yamanote Line. As a dedicated skin clinic, they handle the usual range of dermatological concerns — acne, eczema, rashes, mole checks, and general skin conditions.

English is listed as basic, so don’t expect a fully bilingual consultation. You’ll likely need to prepare key phrases or a written summary of your symptoms in Japanese, or bring a translation app you’re comfortable using. The doctor may understand simple English words but conducting a detailed medical conversation will be a stretch.

No patient ratings exist in the system yet, so there’s nothing to go on in terms of crowd-sourced experience. The clinic does have a website, which is worth checking before you visit since Japanese clinic sites often list hours, accepted insurance, and whether appointments are required. Health insurance accepted here is standard Japanese national or social insurance. For straightforward skin issues where language isn’t a barrier, this is a convenient neighborhood option for Shinagawa residents.
