KIKUCHI Dermatology Clinic
KIKUCHI Dermatology Clinic sits on the third floor of the Tachibana Building in Nishi-Nippori, a quiet residential pocket of Arakawa that doesn’t see many foreign faces. This is a neighborhood Japanese clinic — small, local, built for the community around it. They handle the full dermatology spectrum: acne, eczema, rashes, skin allergies, and general skin complaints.
The website has some English-facing content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume that means smooth English consultation. Full English service isn’t confirmed. If your Japanese is zero, bring a translation app or a bilingual friend. The doctor may understand written English better than spoken — that’s often the case at local clinics like this.
It’s the kind of place where you get a proper diagnosis, not a rushed one. If you’re based in Arakawa or the Nippori area and need a dermatologist without trekking to central Tokyo, this is worth knowing about.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a thorough, unhurried doctor who takes skin complaints seriously rather than rushing you out. Wait times can run long during peak hours — typical for a busy local clinic. The atmosphere is calm and neighborhood-style, not a slick medical chain. Patients generally leave with a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan, which matters more than the decor.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
