  • Kodomo Mental Clinic Shiba is a children’s mental health clinic in Minato-ku — the “Internal Medicine” label in their listing is a bit misleading, because the focus here is clearly pediatric psychiatry and mental health support for kids. They’re on the 3rd floor of the YODA Building in Shiba, a quiet residential-ish pocket of Minato close to Mita and Tamachi stations.

    The website has some English-language content, which is a decent sign, but it’s not clear whether that translates to English-speaking staff at the reception desk or during consultations. For a mental health clinic — especially one dealing with children — that gap matters a lot. If your child needs this kind of specialist care, it’s worth calling ahead or emailing to confirm what language support actually looks like in practice. Don’t assume the English website means English consultations.

    That said, child and adolescent mental health specialists are genuinely hard to find in Tokyo, so if this clinic fits your child’s needs, it’s worth the effort to figure out the logistics.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient review data for this clinic is limited, which isn’t unusual for pediatric mental health practices in Japan — families tend to be private about these visits. The clinic appears to run on an appointment basis, which typically means shorter waits than walk-in setups. Given the specialty, expect longer initial consultations focused on detailed history-taking. The Shiba location is low-key and accessible without being in a chaotic area, which probably suits the nature of the practice.

    English Language Proficiency

    The clinic's website includes some English content, which suggests awareness of international patients — but that's the ceiling of what's confirmed. There's no clear indication that reception staff speak English fluently or that intake forms are available in English. For a child's mental health appointment, where nuance really matters, a translation app isn't going to cut it. Bring a Japanese-speaking friend or contact the clinic in advance to ask specifically about English support. Don't wing this one.
