Makoto Shounishinnkei Clinic
Makoto Shounishinnkei Clinic sits on the ground floor of the SIT Nishi-Shinjuku Building in West Shinjuku — easy to find, easy to access. Despite the name including “shounishinkei” (pediatric neurology), the listed specialty here is internal medicine, so it’s worth calling ahead to confirm what they’re actually seeing patients for on any given visit.
The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and be greeted in fluent English. Full English service is unconfirmed. If you’re dealing with something straightforward and can bring a Japanese-speaking friend or lean on a translation app, you’ll probably manage fine. If you need detailed neurological or internal medicine consultations explained clearly in English, have a backup plan.
West Shinjuku is well-connected — multiple subway and JR lines nearby — so getting here isn’t the problem. Knowing exactly what to expect inside is.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback on this clinic is limited in English-language sources, which itself tells you something — it’s not a go-to spot for the expat community yet. Those who have visited note it’s a small, ground-floor clinic with a straightforward setup. Wait times appear reasonable for the area. The doctor seems thorough for focused consultations. Not a large hospital-style experience — more like a neighborhood clinic where knowing some Japanese helps a lot.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
