Shionoeyeclinic

Shiono Eye Clinic sits in Adachi Ward — one of Tokyo’s more residential, less expat-dense neighborhoods — on the ground floor of the Queen Heights Asai building in Yanaka. It’s a straightforward ophthalmology practice covering the usual range: eye exams, glasses and contact prescriptions, dry eye, glaucoma screening, and general eye health.

The clinic has conversational English capability, meaning someone on staff can get through a basic consultation without you resorting entirely to Google Translate. It won’t be fluent, clinical-level interpretation, but you’re not going in completely blind (sorry). Some English resources are available, which helps with paperwork anxiety.

For expats living in Adachi or commuting from nearby areas like Kita-Senju or Ayase, this fills a real gap — eye care in English outside of central Tokyo is genuinely hard to find. Expect a local neighborhood clinic feel: no frills, efficient, practical. If you need a contact lens prescription updated or want your eyes checked without the hassle of navigating a fully Japanese-language appointment, this is a workable option.
