Makitasogo Byoin

Makita General Hospital is a mid-to-large hospital in Nishi-Kamata, Ota Ward — not a boutique clinic, but a real full-service hospital with a dermatology department that handles everything from eczema and acne to more complex skin conditions. The hospital has some English-language content on its website, which is a decent sign, but don’t walk in expecting a bilingual front desk. This is a Japanese hospital running Japanese workflows. That said, Ota Ward has a reasonably international population, and staff here are likely more accustomed to non-Japanese patients than clinics in less diverse areas. Bring a translation app, have your symptoms written down in Japanese if possible, and you’ll probably get through fine. The dermatology department operates within a larger hospital structure, so expect some coordination between departments if your skin issue has an underlying cause. Appointments are recommended.
