Nipporiganka Kurinikku

Nipporiganka Kurinikku is an ophthalmology clinic on the second floor of Tachibana Building in Nishi-Nippori, Arakawa. It’s a neighborhood eye clinic doing the full range of standard ophthalmic care — vision checks, glaucoma screening, dry eye treatment, contact lens fittings, and general eye complaints.

The clinic has some English on its website, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a smooth English conversation at the front desk. Realistically, bring a translation app, have your symptoms written down in Japanese if you can, and don’t expect bilingual intake forms. The doctors may have some English ability, but this isn’t a clinic marketed to expats.

Location-wise, Nishi-Nippori Station is your landmark — it’s a quiet residential stretch of Arakawa, not a busy expat hub. If you live in the area and need an eye doctor, this is a solid local option. If you’re traveling across Tokyo specifically for English-language eye care, there are more reliably bilingual clinics elsewhere.
