Izumiya Clinic
Izumiya Clinic sits on the sixth floor of the Hōhō Building in Hiroo, Shibuya — a neighborhood that already has a solid expat healthcare scene, so the bar is reasonably high. It’s an internal medicine clinic, meaning your go-to for general adult health issues: checkups, chronic condition management, mystery symptoms that need a real workup.
The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign — someone there has thought about international patients. But “English content online” doesn’t always translate to smooth English communication at the front desk or during consultations. That gap is real and worth acknowledging. If you go, have your Japanese address and insurance card ready, and don’t assume the intake process will be fully in English. A translation app as backup isn’t paranoid — it’s just practical.
Hiroo is convenient. It’s walkable from Hiroo Station on the Hibiya Line, and the area is used to foreign residents. The clinic itself is small and specialist-focused rather than a big hospital with an international department.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback on Izumiya Clinic is limited in English-language sources, which makes it hard to paint a full picture. What’s available suggests a small, focused practice — the kind where you’re not waiting in a chaotic lobby, but also where you shouldn’t expect a lot of hand-holding through the process. Patients familiar with Japanese clinics will find it manageable. First-timers navigating Japanese healthcare alone may find it more of a stretch.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
