MURAHASHI Clinic
MURAHASHI Clinic is a small dermatology practice tucked into Waseda-cho, a quiet residential pocket of Shinjuku that most expats never end up in. It’s not the slick, multilingual clinic you’d find near Hiroo or Roppongi — this is a neighborhood doctor’s office that happens to have some English content on its website. That’s encouraging, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fluent English conversation. Bring a translation app as backup, or use a tool like Google Translate to prep your symptoms beforehand. The clinic covers standard dermatology: skin conditions, rashes, acne, eczema, allergies. For expats who live near Waseda or the western Shinjuku residential areas, it’s a genuinely convenient option. Just set realistic expectations around language — some English capability is likely, full English service is not guaranteed.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback for MURAHASHI Clinic is limited online, which tracks for a small neighborhood practice. The general picture is a quiet, no-frills clinic with a local patient base. Wait times appear reasonable compared to larger hospital dermatology departments. The doctor seems thorough rather than rushed. It’s not a place where you’ll feel like a tourist — it’s a working local clinic, which can be a good or bad thing depending on what you’re after.
English Language Proficiency
