OKAWA Orthopaedic Clinic

OKAWA Orthopaedic Clinic sits in a residential corner of Nerima Ward, tucked into the first floor of a local apartment building on a quiet street in Sekimachi-Minami. This is a neighborhood clinic — small, functional, serving the people who actually live nearby. The specialty focus is orthopedics: joints, backs, sports injuries, fractures, that kind of thing. If you’ve tweaked your knee running or your shoulder’s been giving you grief, this is the right type of clinic.

The website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a smooth English conversation at the front desk. This is Nerima, not Roppongi. Come prepared — a translation app, written notes about your symptoms, or a Japanese-speaking friend will make your visit go a lot smoother. The clinic appears to operate standard outpatient hours, so check the website before heading over. Parking may be limited; check local transit options.
