Shiozaki Internal medicine clinic

Shiozaki Internal Medicine Clinic sits in Aoyama Seven Heights, a short walk into the backstreets of Shibuya. Despite the “internal medicine” in the name, this clinic focuses on dermatology — so don’t let that throw you off. It’s a small, neighborhood-style clinic rather than a big hospital setup, which means shorter waits and a more personal feel than you’d get at a major facility.

English support is a gray area here. The website has some English content, which suggests they’re at least aware that non-Japanese patients exist. But whether that translates to English-speaking staff at reception or during consultations isn’t confirmed. Come prepared with your symptoms written down in Japanese, or have a translation app ready. Google Translate’s camera mode on any forms will save you time.

Appointments can be made online through their website, which helps avoid phone calls entirely — a real win if your Japanese is limited. For expats in Shibuya dealing with skin concerns, this is a locally rooted option worth checking out, just go in with realistic expectations on the language front.
