Shimojima Clinic

Shimojima Clinic is a dermatology practice in Nerima, a residential ward in western Tokyo that’s well connected by the Seibu and Toei Oedo lines but doesn’t see much foot traffic from expats. The clinic handles standard skin concerns — acne, eczema, rashes, moles — the kind of everyday dermatology that makes up most visits.

English is listed as basic, so expect Japanese to carry the appointment. A translation app or written notes will help significantly, especially for describing symptoms or understanding a treatment plan. It’s worth preparing key phrases or a short written summary of your concern before you go.

No ratings are on record yet from international patients, so there’s no community feedback to draw from. The clinic has a website, which may have information on hours and booking, though it’s likely in Japanese only. If you’re in Nerima and need straightforward dermatological care, it’s a reasonable local option — just go in prepared for a language gap.
