Kobayashi Skin Care Clinic

Kobayashi Skin Care Clinic is a dermatology practice tucked into the second floor of the SPC Ichigaya Building in Shinjuku’s Ichigayatamachi neighborhood — closer to Ichigaya Station than the heart of Shinjuku, so factor that into your commute. They handle the full range of skin concerns: acne, eczema, rashes, moles, and cosmetic treatments. The clinic has some English content on their website, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume that means you’ll walk in and have a smooth English conversation. It likely means basic written communication is possible, and staff may manage simple exchanges, but complex consultations could get tricky without prep. Bring a translation app and write down your symptoms beforehand. It’s a small private clinic rather than a big hospital, so the atmosphere tends to be quieter and more personal than a crowded dermatology department. Good option if you’re in the Ichigaya or central Shinjuku area and need a local skin specialist without trekking to an international clinic.
