Star Clinic

Star Clinic is a dermatology practice in Minato, one of Tokyo’s more central and easily accessible wards, well connected by subway. The clinic handles the usual range of skin concerns — acne, eczema, rashes, mole checks, and general skin issues that expats often need addressed.

English is listed as basic, so expect the consultation to be limited. A staff member may manage simple exchanges, but for anything involving detailed symptoms, medications, or diagnosis, bring a Japanese-speaking friend or prepare written notes in Japanese beforehand. Translation apps will be useful here.

The clinic has a website, which is worth checking before your visit for hours, appointment booking, and any English-language information they may provide.

No patient ratings exist yet in our directory, so there’s no community feedback to draw from. This isn’t necessarily a red flag for a dermatology clinic in a well-resourced area like Minato, but it does mean you’re going in without firsthand accounts from other international patients. If your skin concern is straightforward, it’s a reasonable option to try.
