Kokuty Kunitoshi Eye Clinic

Kokuty Kunitoshi Eye Clinic is an ophthalmology clinic located on the ground floor of the Kokuty building in Chofu, Tokyo — that’s out in the western suburbs, about 20 minutes from Shinjuku on the Keio Line. It’s a neighborhood eye clinic covering the usual range: exams, glasses and contact lens prescriptions, eye disease management, and surgical referrals.

The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but that doesn’t guarantee smooth English communication at reception or during your appointment. Chofu isn’t a heavily international area, so walk in expecting limited English and you won’t be caught off guard. A translation app or written notes about your symptoms will genuinely help here. That said, for straightforward eye care — a prescription check, dry eye treatment, or a basic concern — the language barrier is manageable with a bit of preparation.

If you’re living in Chofu or nearby Fuchu, Tama, or Setagaya, this is a convenient local option. Don’t make a special trip from central Tokyo when there are more expat-friendly clinics closer to the city center.
