MIYABAYASHI CLINIC
Miyabayashi Clinic is a dermatology practice sitting on floors 3–5 of its own building in Suginami’s Shimizu neighborhood — a quiet, residential part of west Tokyo that most expats don’t end up in unless they live nearby. The clinic has been around long enough to have a proper building named after it, which usually signals stability.
Their website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume the front desk will be fluent. This is a Japanese neighborhood clinic, not an international medical center. Bring a translation app, have your symptoms written down in Japanese if you can manage it, and you’ll likely be fine. The dermatology focus is solid — skin conditions, consultations, follow-up care. Nothing exotic, but that’s what most people actually need.
Best suited for expats living in Suginami, Nakano, or nearby who want a real local clinic rather than trekking to central Tokyo for basic dermatology.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a thorough, unhurried consultation style — this doesn’t feel like a volume-driven clinic rushing you out. Wait times can stretch, especially on busy weekday mornings, so booking ahead beats walking in. The multi-floor setup keeps things organized. Patients generally report feeling heard, which matters a lot in dermatology where describing symptoms clearly is half the battle.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
