Minato Kaze Clinic

Minato Kaze Clinic is a dermatology practice on the second floor of a building in Shiba, Minato Ward — one of Tokyo’s more expat-dense neighborhoods, which probably explains why they’ve made some effort toward English accessibility. The website has English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fully bilingual consultation. Skin conditions, prescriptions, and treatment explanations all require real back-and-forth, so bring a translation app as backup or use their online contact to test the waters before your first visit. They handle general dermatology — think acne, eczema, rashes, skin allergies — the stuff expats frequently need sorted and can’t easily navigate at a Japanese-only clinic. The Shiba area is well-connected and the clinic is easy to reach from Mita or Tamachi Station. Not a big hospital setup, just a neighborhood dermatology clinic doing its job. Worth trying if you’re in Minato Ward and need skin care without the stress of a language barrier.
