L&P kurinikku Nerimainn

L&P Clinic Nerima is a dermatology clinic in Oizumi-machi, a quieter residential corner of Nerima Ward in northwest Tokyo. It’s part of the L&P clinic group, which runs a handful of locations around Tokyo and has some English content on its website — which is a decent sign, but doesn’t guarantee smooth English communication at the front desk.

For expats, this is a practical option if you’re living in Nerima or the nearby Saitama border area and need a dermatologist without trekking into central Tokyo. Skin conditions, acne, eczema, rashes — that’s the bread and butter here. The clinic appears to operate standard Japanese dermatology hours, meaning it can get busy and waits are real.

English support is unclear. The website has some bilingual elements, but you should go in prepared with a translation app, written notes about your symptoms, or a Japanese-speaking friend if you can manage it. Don’t assume the staff will be fluent. That said, dermatology is one of the more manageable specialties to navigate with limited Japanese — you can point at things.
