Sendagayakitasandou Clinic

Sendagayakitasandou Clinic is a small dermatology clinic tucked into the ground floor of a residential building in the Sendagaya neighborhood of Shibuya — close to Kitasando Station and a short walk from Harajuku. It handles the full range of skin concerns: acne, eczema, rashes, moles, and general skin check-ups. Nothing fancy about the setup, but that’s not really the point. The doctors here have conversational English, which means you can explain your symptoms without miming or relying entirely on a translation app. Don’t expect fluent medical English across the whole team — reception may still lean on written communication or simple phrases — but you won’t be completely on your own. For expats dealing with a new skin issue or trying to manage something chronic, this is a practical local option that doesn’t require trekking to a big international hospital. Appointments are recommended. The clinic is small, so the experience is fairly personal rather than conveyor-belt.
