OCHIAI EKIMAE CLINIC
Ochiai Ekimae Clinic sits right in front of Ochiai Station in Shinjuku — the name basically tells you where it is, which is convenient. It’s a dermatology-focused clinic run under the Senshokai medical corporation, handling the usual skin concerns: acne, rashes, eczema, and general skin checks. The clinic has conversational English capability, so you’re not walking in completely cold, though this isn’t a full international clinic with bilingual staff at every desk. Expect a neighborhood feel — this isn’t a flashy expat-oriented facility, it’s a local clinic that can work with English speakers when needed. Ground floor of the Kato Building, easy to find if you’re coming off the train. Good option if you’re in the Shinjuku area and need dermatology without navigating a fully Japanese-only experience.
Patient Feedback
Patients tend to describe this as a no-frills, efficient neighborhood clinic. Wait times are typical for Tokyo — can run 30-60 minutes during busy periods, shorter on slower days. Doctors are thorough on the clinical side, focused on diagnosis and treatment rather than lengthy explanation. The atmosphere is calm and local. Don’t expect a lot of hand-holding, but you’ll get solid dermatological care without much fuss.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
