Meijidaigaku Kodomo no Kokoro Kurinikku

Meijidaigaku Kodomo no Kokoro Kurinikku sits on the third floor of Meiji University’s research building in Kanda Surugadai — one of Tokyo’s more academic corners, right near Ochanomizu Station. Despite the “Internal Medicine” label in directories, the name translates to “Children’s Heart/Mind Clinic,” which suggests a focus on pediatric mental and emotional health rather than standard adult internal medicine. That distinction matters if you’re trying to figure out whether this is the right place for your kid.

The clinic is university-affiliated, which typically means structured, research-informed care — but also potentially longer waits and more bureaucratic intake processes. The website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but that doesn’t guarantee English-speaking staff at reception or during consultations. Budget for a Japanese-speaking friend or translation app unless you can confirm otherwise directly. Call ahead or email before showing up with a child in tow.
