  • Nakajima Clinic is a small internal medicine practice tucked into Kabutocho — Tokyo’s old financial district in Chuo Ward, now better known as a craft beer and startup hub than a place to get your bloodwork done. The clinic handles the standard internal medicine range: chronic conditions, checkups, referrals, the kind of ongoing care that expats often struggle to find a consistent home for in Japan.

    English capability here is conversational — staff can get through a basic consultation without you needing to panic, though you shouldn’t expect fluent medical English across the board. Bring notes if your situation is complicated. They do have some English-language resources available, which puts them ahead of a lot of neighborhood clinics.

    Kabutocho is walkable from Nihonbashi and Kayabacho stations, so access is solid if you’re based in Chuo or commuting from central Tokyo. Good fit for working expats in the area who need a reliable internal medicine clinic without trekking to a big international hospital.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback points to a calm, unhurried clinic — not the kind of place where you feel processed. The doctor is described as thorough and willing to explain things, which matters when you’re already navigating a language gap. Wait times appear reasonable for a neighborhood clinic. Not a large operation, so don’t expect a sprawling facility — but for internal medicine consults and follow-up care, the experience reads as consistent and low-stress.

    English Language Proficiency

    Reception can handle basic English — appointments, symptoms, standard intake. It won't be seamless if your case is medically complex, but for most internal medicine visits you should be able to get through without a translator. Some English resources are available in-clinic. Having your symptoms written down in simple English beforehand is smart practice here, as it is at most Japanese clinics outside of dedicated international facilities.
