Makino Clinic

Makino Clinic is a dermatology practice in Setagaya, one of Tokyo’s larger residential wards on the western side of the city. The clinic handles the standard range of skin concerns you’d expect from a neighborhood dermatologist — acne, eczema, rashes, skin allergies, and general consultations.

English support is basic, meaning the staff can get through essential exchanges but complex medical histories or nuanced symptom descriptions will be a challenge. Coming prepared with written notes about your symptoms, any medications you’re currently taking, and photos of the affected area will make the appointment go more smoothly. Google Translate on your phone is a reasonable backup.

No patient ratings exist yet in our directory, so there’s no community feedback to draw from at this point. The clinic does have a website where you may be able to find hours and booking information, though it will likely be in Japanese. For straightforward skin issues, it functions as a local neighborhood option, but patients with complex dermatological needs or who require strong English communication might want to seek out a clinic with dedicated multilingual staff.
