Shinbashi first clinic
Shinbashi First Clinic is a dermatology clinic on the third floor of the S’TEC3 building in Shimbashi — a short walk from one of Tokyo’s busiest salary-man hubs. The clinic sits under the umbrella of Prime Partners Medical Corporation, which runs several clinics in the area.
Their website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fully English-speaking consultation. Reception may have limited English, so come prepared with a translation app or written notes about your symptoms. Bring your insurance card and expect standard Japanese clinic paperwork.
For skin concerns — acne, rashes, eczema, moles, or general checkups — this is a convenient option if you’re working or living in the Minato area. The Shimbashi location means it’s genuinely easy to fit into a commute. Just don’t expect a Western-style experience; it’s a Japanese clinic that’s made some effort toward accessibility.
Patient Feedback
Patient reviews are limited in English, so the full picture is patchy. From what’s available, the clinic runs efficiently — typical of smaller Tokyo specialty clinics. Wait times appear reasonable for a walk-in or booked appointment. Doctors seem thorough on diagnosis but consultations tend to be brief, which is normal in Japan. The Shimbashi location makes it easy to squeeze in before or after work.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
