MAKI SKIN CLINIC

Maki Skin Clinic sits in a residential pocket of Suginami, inside a small apartment-style building near Asagaya. It’s a neighborhood dermatology clinic — the kind that handles everything from acne and eczema to moles and skin allergies. No big hospital energy here. The website has some English-language content, which suggests at least some awareness of foreign patients, but don’t walk in expecting a fully bilingual experience. Bring a translation app and any relevant medical history written out in Japanese if you can manage it. The clinic appears to operate standard Japanese dermatology hours with appointment availability. For expats in Suginami, Nakano, or nearby Koenji who need skin care without trekking to central Tokyo, this is worth knowing about. Just set realistic expectations around the language situation before you go.
