Ogikubo Neurology and Psychiatry Clinic

Ogikubo Neurology and Psychiatry Clinic sits on the second floor of a building right next to Ogikubo Station in Suginami — easy to find, easy to reach. The clinic covers both neurology and psychiatry, which is a less common combo and genuinely useful if you’re dealing with something that sits at the crossroads of brain and mental health — headaches, memory concerns, anxiety, depression, sleep issues.

The website has some English content, which suggests at least some awareness of non-Japanese patients. But “some English on the website” doesn’t mean smooth English communication at reception. It’s unclear whether staff can handle a full appointment in English or whether you’d be piecing things together with a translation app. If your Japanese is limited, it’s worth calling ahead or emailing to check before you show up.

For expats dealing with neurological or psychiatric issues in Tokyo, clinics that handle both specialties in one place are worth knowing about. Just go in with realistic expectations about language support until you’ve confirmed otherwise firsthand.
