Kondo Clinic

Kondo Clinic is a dermatology practice in Edogawa, one of Tokyo’s eastern residential wards, a bit removed from the more central expat-heavy areas but accessible by train. As a specialist clinic, it handles the usual range of skin concerns — acne, eczema, rashes, moles, and general skin conditions.

English support is basic, so expect communication to be primarily in Japanese. Simple issues with straightforward visual symptoms tend to go smoothly enough, but anything requiring detailed explanation of history or symptoms will be harder to navigate without some Japanese ability or a translation app. Bringing written notes or using a phone translator beforehand is a practical idea.

No patient reviews are on record yet, so there’s no community feedback to draw from about wait times, bedside manner, or how well staff handle foreign patients. The clinic does have a website, which may list hours and appointment options — worth checking before visiting. For expats living in or around Edogawa, it’s a locally accessible option for dermatology needs, but those with limited Japanese may want to prepare accordingly.
