Kitasando-Mental-Shinryojo
Kitasando Mental Clinic (北参道こころの診療所) sits on the second floor of a small office building in Sendagaya, Shibuya — close to Kitasando Station on the Fukutoshin Line. Despite the “internal medicine” classification, the name makes clear this is a mental health-focused practice. Think psychiatry and psychological care rather than stomach checkups.
The clinic has some English on its website, which is a decent sign, but whether that translates to English-speaking staff at reception or during consultations is genuinely unclear. Don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fluent conversation. Bring a translation app, prep your symptoms in Japanese if you can, or bring a Japanese-speaking friend if the appointment matters a lot.
That said, for expats in Shibuya dealing with anxiety, depression, or stress-related issues, options are limited. This clinic is worth investigating. Call ahead, use the contact form on their site, and ask directly about English support before booking.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback on this clinic is sparse in English-language spaces, which isn’t unusual for smaller mental health practices in Tokyo. What exists suggests a quiet, low-key environment — appropriate for the specialty. Wait times appear reasonable for a private clinic. Doctors seem thorough with intake. Don’t expect a large, busy facility. This is a small practice, which for mental health care can actually be a plus.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
