OCHIAI NAIKA CLINIC

Ochiai Naika Clinic is a dermatology clinic in Shinjuku, one of Tokyo’s busiest and most accessible neighborhoods, making it easy to reach from most parts of the city. Despite the “naika” (internal medicine) in the name, the clinic focuses on dermatological care, handling common skin concerns like acne, eczema, rashes, and general skin consultations.

English support is basic, so expect communication to be primarily in Japanese. Simple written notes or a translation app will go a long way here. Staff are unlikely to initiate conversation in English, but straightforward skin issues with visible symptoms can often be managed with minimal language exchange.

No patient reviews are currently available on Kantan Health, so there’s little community insight on wait times, bedside manner, or how well they handle foreign patients. The clinic does have a website, which is worth checking before you visit for hours and any appointment requirements. If you’re comfortable navigating a language gap and are dealing with a fairly routine skin issue, this clinic’s Shinjuku location is a practical option.
