OHE Clinic
OHE Clinic (大江医院) is a neighborhood internal medicine clinic in Higashi-Horikiri, Katsushika — a residential pocket of eastern Tokyo that most expats never end up in unless they actually live there. Run under the medical corporation Hakugakai, it handles the standard internal medicine workload: colds, chronic conditions, blood pressure, diabetes management, referrals.
The website has some English-language content, which is a decent sign — it suggests the clinic is at least aware that non-Japanese patients exist. But “some English online” doesn’t automatically mean smooth English communication in person. Reception and consultations are likely conducted in Japanese, so bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend if your Japanese isn’t functional. Google Translate on your phone will carry you further than you’d expect here.
This is a community clinic for locals, not a foreigner-facing practice. If you live in Katsushika and need a regular GP-style doctor nearby, it’s worth a visit. If you’re traveling from across Tokyo specifically for English support, look elsewhere.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback is limited for this clinic, which tracks for a small neighborhood practice in a non-expat-heavy ward. Local Japanese reviewers tend to describe it as a reliable, no-frills community clinic — doctors who take time to explain, reasonable wait times outside peak morning hours. Don’t expect a streamlined modern facility. It has the feel of a family doctor’s office that’s been serving the same neighborhood for years. That’s either reassuring or dated, depending on what you need.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
