Imai Child Clinic
Imai Child Clinic is a pediatrics practice in Shiba, Minato-ku — and it’s not your typical walk-in setup. The Japanese name includes 往診専門, which means they specialize in house calls. That’s the key thing to understand before you show up at their address expecting a waiting room. If your kid is sick and you want a doctor to come to you rather than dragging a feverish toddler across Tokyo, that’s exactly what this clinic is built for.
The clinic has some English content on its website, which suggests awareness of foreign patients, but whether you’ll get a fully English-speaking consultation or need to lean on a translation app is genuinely unclear. House-call pediatrics in Japan tends to be phone-heavy for booking, so if your Japanese is limited, that’s worth thinking through before you need them at 10pm on a Tuesday.
Located in Minato, one of Tokyo’s more expat-dense wards, so the demand for English-accessible healthcare is real here. Worth having their number saved if you have young kids in the area.
Patient Feedback
Public review data for this clinic is limited, which partly reflects the nature of house-call practices — they’re less visible than storefront clinics. Patients who use at-home pediatric services in Japan generally report that doctors are thorough and unhurried compared to busy outpatient clinics. The home-visit model also means your sick child isn’t sitting in a waiting room for an hour. That alone is a significant practical advantage for parents with young kids.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
