MIYABI SKIN CLINIC

Miyabi Skin Clinic sits on the ground floor of a quiet street in Ebisu-Minami — technically Shibuya ward, but closer to Ebisu Station than Shibuya itself. It’s a dermatology-focused clinic covering both medical skin conditions and cosmetic treatments, which is a pretty common combo in Tokyo’s private skin clinics.

Their website has some English content, which suggests they’re at least aware that foreign patients exist. But “some English online” doesn’t automatically mean smooth English service at the desk. Realistically, you should expect Japanese-dominant communication. A translation app on your phone is smart prep, not optional backup.

The clinic is small and private-practice in feel — not a big hospital dermatology department. That usually means shorter chains of bureaucracy but also less infrastructure for non-Japanese speakers. Good for straightforward skin concerns like acne, eczema, or mole checks. If you need detailed back-and-forth about a complex diagnosis, bring a Japanese-speaking friend if you can.
