INOUE Eye Clinic

INOUE Eye Clinic sits in Yōga, a quiet residential corner of Setagaya that most expats only discover when they need a dentist or, in this case, an eye doctor. It’s a dedicated ophthalmology clinic — so this isn’t a general practice squeezing in eye checkups. They handle the full range: glasses and contact prescriptions, glaucoma, cataracts, dry eye, and general eye health.

The website has some English-language content, which suggests they’re at least aware that non-Japanese patients exist. Whether that translates to smooth English communication at the front desk is genuinely unclear — don’t assume you’ll breeze through registration without any Japanese. Bring a translation app and your insurance card. If you have a specific diagnosis or condition you need to explain, write it down beforehand.

Yōga Station (Den-en-toshi Line) is the practical access point. It’s a straightforward neighborhood clinic feel — not a big hospital, not a tourist-facing international clinic. Solid choice if you’re in Setagaya and need a real eye specialist rather than a GP referral runaround.
