Okuma Medical Clinic

Okuma Medical Clinic is an internal medicine practice on the third floor of the Nagatuka Building in Chiyonin-cho, Hachioji — western Tokyo, not central, so factor that into your commute. It operates under the medical corporation Shokeikai, which typically means a small, organized private clinic rather than a hospital-scale operation.

The website has some English content, which is a better sign than nothing, but don’t assume the front desk will hold a full conversation with you in English. This is the kind of place where a translation app or a bilingual friend on the phone could make your visit much smoother. Internal medicine here means the usual adult health stuff — chronic conditions, general checkups, respiratory issues, digestive complaints.

Hachioji has a decent expat community, and clinics in this area are generally used to seeing non-Japanese faces even if their English is limited. If you’re living in western Tokyo and need a local GP-style doctor for ongoing care, this is worth checking out — just go in with realistic expectations about language support.
