shinozaki clinic

Shinozaki Clinic is a small internal medicine practice tucked into a residential apartment building in Nagasaki, Toshima — one of those quiet, local neighborhoods that most expats never end up in unless they live nearby. It’s a straightforward GP-style clinic handling the everyday stuff: colds, chronic conditions, checkups, referrals. The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but don’t book expecting a fully bilingual setup. Reception is almost certainly Japanese-only, and appointments will go smoother if you bring a Japanese-speaking friend or have your symptoms written out in Japanese. That said, for expats living in western Toshima or nearby Nerima, this is a genuinely local option worth knowing about rather than trekking to a big hospital for routine care.
