Matsuyama Ganka

Matsuyama Ganka is an ophthalmology clinic sitting on the ground floor of the Ibis Chofu building in Chofu, western Tokyo — convenient for expats living out that way in Tama or Setagaya. They handle standard eye care: glasses prescriptions, contact lens fittings, eye disease management, and general checkups. The clinic has some English content on their website, which is a decent sign, but don’t walk in expecting a bilingual staff member at the front desk. Reality is probably a mix of gestures, Google Translate, and whatever written materials they have. If your eye issue is routine — blurry vision, contacts, basic exam — you can likely get through it. Complex symptoms or detailed conversations about chronic conditions? Bring a Japanese-speaking friend or use a translation app. The clinic operates under a medical corporation (Koyu-kai), suggesting it’s an established practice rather than a solo doctor setup.
