IMAI CLINIC
Imai Clinic is a dermatology and plastic surgery clinic sitting on the 6th floor of the Tachikawa Mitsubishi Building in Tachikawa, western Tokyo. The focus is skin conditions and cosmetic/reconstructive work — think acne, eczema, moles, and minor surgical procedures, not just facials.
English capability is genuinely unclear. The website has some English-facing content, which suggests they’ve thought about international patients, but that doesn’t always translate to smooth communication at the front desk. If your Japanese is limited, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend for your first visit. Don’t assume a bilingual doctor is waiting for you.
Tachikawa is convenient if you’re living or working in the Tama area — it’s a major hub on the Chuo Line. Not the obvious choice if you’re based in central Tokyo, but worth knowing if you’re west of Shinjuku and need a dermatologist.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a thorough doctor who takes skin issues seriously rather than rushing consultations. Wait times can run long during busy periods — mornings tend to fill up fast, so arriving early helps. The clinic feels clinical and professional rather than spa-like. Patients with cosmetic concerns alongside medical skin issues seem to appreciate having both handled in one place. Nothing flashy, but competent and focused.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
