nakamurabashi mental clinic

Nakamurabashi Mental Clinic sits on the second floor of the Medic Nakamurabashi building in Nerima Ward — a quieter residential part of northwest Tokyo that’s not exactly on the expat radar. Despite the name, this is listed as an internal medicine clinic, so don’t let “mental” in the English transliteration throw you. The Japanese name (中村橋メンタルクリニック) suggests a mental health or psychosomatic medicine focus, which is worth confirming directly before you book.

The clinic has some English content on its website, which is more than most neighborhood clinics in this area bother with. That said, full English service — meaning English-speaking staff at reception or during consultations — is not confirmed. If your Japanese is limited, come prepared with a translation app or a written summary of your symptoms. This is a local clinic serving a local community, not an international medical center. But if you’re living in Nerima and need care nearby, it’s worth a call to check what they can accommodate.
