Kujira clinic

Kujira Clinic is an ophthalmology practice in Tachikawa, west Tokyo, sitting inside the Tachikawa Tachross building on Akebono-cho — easy to find if you know the area, a bit of a trek if you’re coming from central Tokyo. They handle the standard eye clinic workload: vision checks, contact lens prescriptions, eye disease management, and general eye care.

The website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume that means fluent English-speaking staff at the front desk. Reality is probably somewhere between “can manage basic communication” and “you’ll want a translation app handy for anything complicated.” For a routine eye exam or contact lens renewal, you can likely get through it. For something more complex — symptoms you can’t easily mime — bring a Japanese-speaking friend or use a translation tool.

Tachikawa is well-connected by JR Chuo Line, so access from central Tokyo is straightforward. Parking availability would be worth checking if you’re driving in from further out.
