Shirokane Clinic

Shirokane Clinic is a dermatology practice in Minato’s upscale Shirokanedai neighborhood — the kind of quiet, residential pocket of Tokyo that feels a world away from Shinjuku chaos. They handle the full range of skin concerns: acne, eczema, rashes, mole checks, and cosmetic treatments. The clinic has some English content on their website, which is a decent sign, but whether that translates to smooth English-language appointments is genuinely unclear. Reception may have basic English ability, but don’t count on a fully bilingual experience. If your Japanese is minimal, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend just in case. The clinic sits in a neighborhood popular with expats and wealthy Tokyo residents, so they’ve likely dealt with foreign patients before — but that’s an assumption, not a guarantee. Worth a call ahead to gauge the English situation before booking.
