Murasaki Breast Clinic

Murasaki Breast Clinic is a specialist breast and gynecology clinic on the sixth floor of a building in Gotanda, Shinagawa. It focuses specifically on breast care — screening, diagnostics, ultrasound, mammography — rather than general women’s health. That narrow focus is actually a feature: if you need a breast exam or follow-up, this is more specialized than your average OB/GYN.

The clinic has some English on its website, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fluent conversation. English capability at reception is unconfirmed. If your Japanese is minimal, bring a translation app or a bilingual friend, especially for anything involving medical history or results. Gotanda is easy to reach — it’s on the Tokyu Ikegami, Tokyu Oimachi, and JR Yamanote lines — so access from most of central Tokyo is straightforward. The sixth-floor location means elevator access, but the building is standard older Tokyo office stock. For expat women needing breast screening or a specialist referral, this is worth knowing about.
