OHYAMA DERMATOLOGY CLINIC

Ohyama Dermatology is a small neighborhood skin clinic tucked into the ground floor of a residential mansion building in Nishi-Ayase, Adachi. This is deep east Tokyo — not the expat-heavy parts of the city — so don’t expect a bilingual welcome desk. The clinic handles standard dermatology: acne, eczema, rashes, skin allergies, and general skin conditions. It’s a local clinic serving local people, which means efficient appointments and doctors who know their stuff, but probably not a lot of English signage or staff comfortable switching languages mid-consultation. Their website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but that doesn’t guarantee the in-person experience matches. If you go, bring a translation app and have your symptoms written out in Japanese beforehand. This is a practical choice if you live nearby in Adachi and need a dermatologist without trekking to central Tokyo — just go in prepared.
