KATOH Clinic

KATOH Clinic is a neighborhood internal medicine practice in Toshimada, Nerima — the kind of quiet residential corner of Tokyo that most expats don’t end up in unless they live nearby. Run under the medical corporation Seieikai, it handles the everyday stuff: checkups, chronic condition management, colds, fatigue, that vague “something’s off” feeling you can’t diagnose yourself.

The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign — it suggests awareness that non-Japanese patients exist. But “English on the website” and “English at the front desk” are very different things. Full English service here is unconfirmed, so if your Japanese is limited, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend for anything beyond the basics. That said, for expats living in Nerima, this is a solid local option for general health needs without trekking into central Tokyo.
