Kurashina Clinic

Kurashina Clinic is a small internal medicine practice tucked on the second floor of the Sanae Building in Sengawa-cho, Chofu — a residential pocket of western Tokyo that doesn’t see many expats but is home to plenty of long-term foreign residents. It covers the standard internal medicine bases: chronic disease management, checkups, colds, fatigue, lifestyle-related conditions.

The website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume that means fluent English-speaking staff are waiting at reception. It likely means someone put effort into accessibility, not that consultations flow naturally in English. Bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend if your medical situation is complex. For routine visits — blood pressure checks, prescription renewals, basic symptoms — the language gap is manageable. This is a neighborhood clinic, not an international medical center, so adjust expectations accordingly. If you live in Chofu or nearby, it’s a practical local option worth knowing about.
