INAGI MUNICIPAL HOSPITAL
Inagi Municipal Hospital is a public city hospital in Inagi, a quieter residential area in the southwestern corner of Tokyo. The dermatology department handles the usual range of skin conditions — rashes, eczema, acne, moles — and as a municipal hospital, it operates on a referral-friendly public system, so you may need a referral letter (shokaijo) to avoid an extra fee at the door.
The website has some English sections, which is a good sign, but don’t assume the front desk or dermatology staff will be fluent. This is a local public hospital serving a Japanese-speaking community. Bring your insurance card, any previous medical records translated if possible, and a translation app as backup. Google Translate on your phone will be your best friend here.
Getting here requires a bit of effort — Inagi isn’t the most transit-accessible part of Tokyo, so factor that into your planning. Good option if you live in the area. Not worth a long commute if you have other choices closer to the city center.
Patient Feedback
As a public municipal hospital, expect a wait. Morning slots fill fast, and you may sit for an hour or more before seeing a doctor. That said, municipal hospitals tend to be thorough — doctors here aren’t rushing you out for the next private-pay patient. The dermatology department covers standard conditions competently. The environment is functional and clean, not polished. Staff are professional but interaction is transactional. Bring something to read.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
