  • Mental health specialty focus
  • Near central Tokyo
  • RIC Mental Clinic Sangenjaya sits on the 5th floor of Sun Towers Building B in Sangenjaya — a neighborhood that’s genuinely livable and increasingly popular with foreign residents in Setagaya. Despite the “Internal Medicine” classification in some directories, the clinic name and website (sanchakokoro.com — “kokoro” means heart/mind) make clear this is a mental health-focused practice.

    The website has some English-language elements, which suggests they’re at least aware that non-Japanese patients exist. Whether that translates to a smooth English consultation is a different question. Sangenjaya is well-connected via the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line, so access from central Tokyo is easy enough.

    If you’re an expat dealing with anxiety, depression, or stress-related issues in Tokyo, this could be worth a call — but go in with realistic expectations about language support. Bring a translation app, have your symptoms written out in Japanese if possible, and confirm English availability before booking.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback specific to this clinic is limited in English-language sources. Clinics in this style — smaller, specialty mental health practices in residential Tokyo neighborhoods — tend to run on appointment systems with moderate wait times. The Sangenjaya location and “kokoro” branding suggest a quieter, less clinical atmosphere than a major hospital. Expect a Japanese-style consultation: structured, relatively brief, focused on symptoms and medication rather than extended talk therapy sessions.

    English Language Proficiency

    The website includes some English content, which is a step above nothing — but that doesn't guarantee English-speaking staff at reception or during consultations. Mental health appointments are language-intensive by nature, so this matters more here than at a routine checkup. Until confirmed otherwise, assume Japanese is the primary working language. A bilingual friend, phone interpreter service, or detailed written notes in Japanese will genuinely help. Call ahead and ask directly: 英語は話せますか?
