Shinjuku Station (Marunouchi Line) — 5 min walk
  • Appointment-based, quieter visits
  • Near central Tokyo
  • LORE CLINIC is a dermatology clinic tucked into a residential-feeling corner of Shinjuku 6-chome, a short walk from Shinjuku-Sanchome Station. It’s a smaller, boutique-style setup — not a big hospital dermatology floor, not a chain skin clinic. The focus appears to be cosmetic and medical dermatology, and the clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign. That said, full English service isn’t confirmed, so don’t walk in expecting a bilingual consultation without doing some prep. A translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend would be smart backup for first-timers. The clinic is in Silver Mansion Shinjuku on the 9th floor, so it’s an apartment-building-style setup rather than a street-level shopfront — easy to walk past if you’re not paying attention. Appointment booking through the website is recommended. For expats dealing with skin conditions, cosmetic concerns, or just needing a dermatologist who isn’t a 45-minute train ride away from central Tokyo, this is a reasonable option to explore — just go in with realistic expectations about language support.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback for LORE CLINIC is limited in English-language sources, which isn’t unusual for smaller Shinjuku dermatology practices. The clinic’s setup — ninth floor of a residential-style building, appointment-based — suggests a quieter, less chaotic experience than big hospital dermatology departments. Patients familiar with Japanese skin clinics will recognize the format: focused, efficient, not a lot of small talk. Wait times appear reasonable for an appointment-based model. No strong patterns of complaints or praise in available data.

    English Language Proficiency

    LORE CLINIC has some English content on its website, which suggests at least some awareness of non-Japanese patients. But confirmed bilingual staff? That's unclear. Don't assume you'll get a fully English consultation. Basic written communication might work at reception, but for anything clinical — describing symptoms, understanding a diagnosis, discussing treatment options — you'll want a translation app ready or a Japanese-speaking friend along. Check the website before visiting and consider emailing ahead to gauge their English comfort level.
