Sangubashi Sekituigeka Byoin

Sangubashi Sekituigeka Byoin is a spine-focused surgical hospital in Yoyogi, Shibuya — despite the “Internal Medicine” listing, this place is built around spinal surgery and orthopedic care. The name gives it away: sekituigeka means spinal surgery. It’s a small, specialized hospital rather than a general clinic, which means the staff here live and breathe back problems, disc issues, and spinal conditions rather than juggling everything from colds to checkups.

The website has some English content, which is a good sign, but whether that translates to English-speaking staff at reception or during consultations is genuinely unclear. Don’t walk in expecting a smooth English experience without confirming first. Closest station is Sangubashi on the Odakyu Line — not the most central, but easy enough from Shinjuku. If you’ve got a serious spine issue and need a specialist hospital rather than a general practitioner, this is the kind of place worth investigating. Call ahead or email to check English availability before booking.
