Nishikasai Inouye Ganka Byouin

Nishikasai Inouye Ganka Byouin is a dedicated eye hospital — not just a clinic — sitting in western Edogawa ward, close to Nishi-Kasai Station on the Tozai Line. It’s part of the Inouye Eye Hospital group, which has a solid reputation for ophthalmology in Tokyo. They handle the full range of eye conditions: glaucoma, cataracts, retinal issues, dry eye, the works. This isn’t a general practice with an eye department bolted on — eyes are all they do.

The website has some English content, which suggests they’re at least aware that foreign patients exist. Whether that translates to English-speaking staff at reception or during consultations is genuinely unclear. You’re probably not walking in to a fully bilingual experience, but you’re also not walking into a place that’s never seen a non-Japanese speaker before. Bring a translation app, prepare your medical history in Japanese if you can, and you’ll likely be fine. For anything serious — a second opinion, specialist referral, or complex procedure — this is the kind of place worth making the effort for.
