Shimizu Dermatology Clinic

Shimizu Dermatology Clinic sits in Shinagawa, one of Tokyo’s more transit-friendly wards, making it reasonably accessible from much of the city and surrounding areas. As a dedicated dermatology practice, it handles the standard range of skin concerns — acne, eczema, rashes, moles, and general skin conditions that expats often struggle to get properly addressed through larger hospitals.

English support is listed as basic, so expect Japanese to dominate most of the interaction. Simple concerns with clear visual symptoms tend to go smoother than situations requiring detailed medical history or nuanced back-and-forth. Bringing a written summary of your symptoms and any medications you’re taking is genuinely useful here. Google Translate or a translation app on your phone will help bridge gaps during the visit.

The clinic has a website, which is worth checking before you go for hours and appointment procedures, though it’s likely in Japanese. No patient reviews are currently available on Kantan Health, so there’s no community feedback to draw on yet. If you’ve visited, leaving a review would help other expats know what to expect.
