  • ENT specialist, not GP
  • Near central Tokyo
  • IZAWA E.N.T. Clinic sits on the second floor of Petit Plaza in Ohanajaya, Katsushika — a quiet residential corner of northeast Tokyo that most expats don’t end up in unless they live nearby. The clinic focuses on ear, nose, and throat issues, which means things like chronic sinusitis, ear infections, hearing problems, and tonsil trouble.

    Their website has some English content, which suggests awareness of non-Japanese patients, but don’t walk in expecting a fully bilingual experience. Reception is likely Japanese-only in practice. If you’ve got a specific ENT complaint and live in Katsushika or eastern Tokyo, this is a reasonable neighborhood option — just come prepared with a translation app, your insurance card, and ideally a written note explaining your symptoms in Japanese.

    It’s a small local clinic, not an international medical center. That’s fine. For routine ENT issues, you don’t always need the full expat-friendly setup — you just need a competent specialist who can look in your ears.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback points to a straightforward neighborhood clinic experience — relatively short waits compared to larger hospital ENT departments, and a doctor who takes time to explain what’s going on. It’s not fancy, but people seem to leave knowing what their diagnosis is and what to do next. The local, unhurried pace is a plus for families with kids dealing with recurring ear or sinus issues.

    English Language Proficiency

    The clinic has English content on its website, which is a step above nothing, but there's no confirmed English-speaking staff at reception or with the doctor. In practice, expect a Japanese-language environment. A translation app like Google Translate or DeepL will be essential. Writing your symptoms down in Japanese beforehand helps a lot. If you can bring a Japanese-speaking friend, do it — especially for a first visit or a complex issue.
