RIKKU MENTARUKURINIKKU SANGENJAYA
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
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
