SHIRAKAWA OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGY
Shirakawa Otorhinolaryngology (the ENT kind — ears, nose, throat) sits on the 2nd floor of a modern tower in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, a quieter residential pocket of Koto Ward that’s become popular with younger families. The clinic leans pediatric, so if your kid has recurring ear infections, a stuffy nose that won’t quit, or throat issues, this is the kind of specialist you want rather than bouncing back to a general pediatrician.
Their website has some English-language content, which is a decent signal — they’re at least aware that non-Japanese patients exist. That said, don’t assume fluent English-speaking staff will be waiting at reception. Come prepared with a translation app and your symptoms written down. A Japanese-speaking friend tagging along wouldn’t hurt either.
It’s a specialty clinic, not a general practice, so go in knowing what you need. Kiyosumi-Shirakawa is well-connected and easy to reach. For expat families in Koto Ward dealing with ENT issues in kids, this is one of the few local options worth knowing about.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a clinic that runs efficiently — waits are generally reasonable for a specialist. The doctor comes across as thorough and methodical, which parents tend to appreciate when it comes to kids’ ENT issues. The atmosphere is calm rather than chaotic, which helps with anxious children. Nothing flashy, but the focus feels genuinely clinical rather than rushed.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
