Kousei Clinic

Kousei Clinic is a dermatology practice in Sumida’s Tachihana neighborhood — not central Tokyo, but a solid residential area in the east of the city. It operates under the Sophia Medical Corporation and handles the usual skin concerns: acne, eczema, rashes, allergies, and general skin checks.

The clinic has some English-language content on its website, which is a better sign than nothing. But “some English online” doesn’t automatically mean smooth English communication at reception or with the doctor. Sumida isn’t a heavily internationalized area, so walk in expecting a Japanese-language environment and treat any English support as a bonus.

If you’re living nearby in Sumida, Katsushika, or eastern Arakawa, this is a convenient local option for dermatology without trekking into Shinjuku or Shibuya. For expats with zero Japanese, bring a translation app and consider writing down your symptoms beforehand. For those with basic Japanese or a bilingual friend, this should be manageable.
