Nakamura Clinic

Nakamura Clinic sits in Nerima Ward — a quieter, residential part of northwest Tokyo that doesn’t see many foreign visitors. It’s a neighborhood dermatology clinic run under the medical corporation name Dzūfu Haruma (a nod to the historical Dutch-Japanese dictionary, which is a genuinely interesting detail). They handle general skin conditions, likely the usual range: acne, eczema, rashes, mole checks.

Their website has some English content, which is a decent sign — it shows awareness that non-Japanese patients exist. But “some English online” doesn’t automatically mean the front desk is ready for a full English conversation. Realistically, you’re looking at a mixed-bag situation: possibly basic English, definitely a lot of pointing and Google Translate. If you have intermediate Japanese or a translation app you’re comfortable using, this is manageable. If you need full English hand-holding, call ahead or send an email first. The clinic is small and local, which means shorter waits than a big hospital and a doctor who actually looks at you.
