Miyajima Medical Clinic

Miyajima Medical Clinic is a dermatology practice in Nakano, a residential ward in western Tokyo that’s well-connected by both the JR Chuo and Tokyo Metro Tozai lines. The clinic handles the standard range of skin concerns — acne, eczema, rashes, moles, and general skin checkups.

English is listed as basic, so expect the consultation to be primarily in Japanese. If your condition is straightforward and you can point to the problem area, you’ll likely get through fine. For anything requiring detailed medical history or nuanced explanation, bring a Japanese-speaking friend or prepare written notes in Japanese beforehand.

No patient reviews exist yet, so there’s no community feedback to draw from on wait times, bedside manner, or how well staff handle foreign patients. The clinic does have a website, which is worth checking before your visit for hours and any appointment booking options. Nakano itself is easy to navigate and has good transit access from central Tokyo, making this a reasonable option for expats living in or around the western Tokyo area.
