Kanda Itamino Clinic

Kanda Itamino Clinic — “itami” means pain in Japanese, so the name tells you exactly what they’re about. This is a pain-focused orthopedic clinic in Chiyoda, tucked into the first and second floors of the Sato Building in Kanda. They handle the usual orthopedic territory: joint pain, back problems, sports injuries, nerve issues. The clinic has some English content on their website, which is a decent sign, but whether that translates to a genuinely English-capable reception desk is unclear — don’t assume you’ll waltz in and have a smooth conversation. Kanda is a solid central location, easy to reach from multiple JR and subway lines. If you’re dealing with chronic pain or a specific orthopedic complaint and you’re in the Chiyoda area, this is worth investigating. Come prepared with written descriptions of your symptoms in Japanese if you can manage it.
