Otsuka Mental Clinic sits on the 6th floor of the Seiwa Building in Kita-Otsuka, Toshima — a quiet, above-street setup that suits a mental health visit. Despite being listed under Internal Medicine, the name makes clear this is a mental health-focused practice, likely covering psychiatric evaluation, counseling support, and related care under the broader internal medicine umbrella common in Japan.

The clinic is part of the Kosei Kyokai medical foundation, which runs several facilities in Tokyo including Oizumi Hospital, so there’s institutional backing here. The website has some English-facing content, which is a decent signal — but don’t walk in assuming fluent English-speaking staff. Prepare to use a translation app or bring someone who speaks Japanese if your Japanese is minimal. For a mental health appointment especially, that preparation matters more than it would at, say, a dermatologist.

Otsuka Station (JR Yamanote Line) is nearby, making access straightforward from most parts of Tokyo. If you’re an expat navigating mental health care in Japan for the first time, this is a legitimate starting point — just go in prepared.
