NIHON UNIVERSITY ITABASHI Hospital
Nihon University Itabashi Hospital is a large university-affiliated hospital in Itabashi Ward, northwest Tokyo. The Dermatology department sits within a full-service academic medical center, which means you’re getting specialist-level care backed by a teaching hospital infrastructure — not a neighborhood skin clinic. That’s a genuine plus if your skin issue is complicated or has resisted treatment elsewhere. The hospital has some English content on its website, but don’t assume that translates to a smooth English-speaking experience at the front desk or in the exam room. Bring a Japanese-speaking friend if you can, or load up a translation app before you walk in. Getting here is straightforward — it’s near Kamikitazawa area and accessible by bus or taxi from nearby Tobu Tojo Line stations.
