Oyamakenkonomachi Clinic

Oyamakenmachi Clinic sits in a first-floor unit of the Matsuda Building in Oyama, one of Itabashi’s more lived-in, local neighborhoods — not a flashy area, but easy to reach. The clinic focuses on dermatology, handling the usual range of skin concerns: acne, eczema, rashes, moles, and general skin checkups.

Their website has some English content, which is a decent sign — it suggests they’ve at least thought about international patients. But “some English online” doesn’t automatically mean English-fluent staff at the front desk. Realistically, expect a Japanese-first environment. A translation app on your phone (Google Translate’s camera mode works well here) is smart preparation, not optional backup.

If your skin issue is visual and you can point at it, you’ll probably get by fine. For anything requiring detailed medical history or nuanced symptom description, bring a Japanese-speaking friend or use a written translation of your symptoms in advance. Appointment booking via the website is worth checking before walking in.
