MIZUHO WOMEN'S CLINIC

Mizuho Women’s Clinic sits on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Shimada Building in Kokubunji — a quieter residential pocket of western Tokyo that’s well connected by JR Chuo Line. It’s a dedicated gynecology practice, so you’re not sharing a waiting room with people there for cold medicine. The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume that means fluent English-speaking staff are waiting at reception. This is still a Japanese clinic operating primarily in Japanese. If your Japanese is limited, bring a translation app and write down your symptoms beforehand. That prep goes a long way here. It’s the kind of neighborhood clinic that likely handles routine gynecological care — checkups, menstrual issues, contraception — rather than high-volume obstetric drama. Worth calling ahead to gauge the English situation before your first visit.
