NUMAJIRI Orthopedic Surgery Clinic

NUMAJIRI Orthopedic Surgery Clinic sits in Tsutsujioka, Chofu — a quieter residential pocket of western Tokyo, not the city center. They handle the usual orthopedic workload: joint pain, back problems, sports injuries, fractures, post-surgical rehab. The clinic has some English content on their website, which suggests some awareness of non-Japanese patients, but that doesn’t guarantee fluent English at reception or with the doctor. Realistically, you should prepare for a mostly Japanese-language experience. Bring a translation app, have your symptoms written out in Japanese if possible, and don’t assume the intake forms will be bilingual. That said, orthopedics is one of those specialties where pointing at an X-ray and miming where it hurts gets you surprisingly far. If you’re in the Chofu area with a musculoskeletal issue and don’t want to commute to a central Tokyo international clinic, this is worth trying — just go in with realistic expectations.
