Kodama Medical Clinic

Kodama Medical Clinic (樹神内科クリニック) is a dermatology clinic tucked into the ground floor of a residential building in Hanakoganei, a quiet western Tokyo suburb in Kōdaira City. It’s not a flashy urban clinic — this is neighborhood medicine, the kind of place locals trust for skin conditions rather than a spot expats typically stumble across.

The clinic’s website has some English content, which suggests at least some awareness of non-Japanese patients. But don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a smooth English conversation. Full English service isn’t confirmed, and Hanakoganei isn’t exactly a high-expat-density area, so staff may have limited English experience. A translation app is a reasonable backup plan.

For dermatology specifically — rashes, acne, eczema, skin checks — this is a functional local option if you’re in the Kōdaira area and don’t want to commute into central Tokyo. Just go in with realistic expectations about language, and have your symptoms written out in Japanese if possible.
