Star Clinic

Star Clinic sits on the 11th floor of the Bark Shibaura Building in Minato-ku — waterfront Tokyo, close to Shibaura-futo Station. It’s a dermatology clinic operating under the medical corporation Star Cell Alliance, which suggests it’s part of a larger network rather than a solo-doctor setup.

Their website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll get a fully bilingual consultation. “Some English online” and “English-speaking staff at the desk” are two very different things. If your Japanese is minimal, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend for anything beyond straightforward skin concerns.

They handle standard dermatology — think acne, rashes, moles, chronic skin conditions. Nothing in their public profile screams cosmetic-heavy or clinical-research-heavy, so it reads as a general derm clinic serving working adults in the area.

Location-wise, Minato is one of the more expat-dense wards in Tokyo, so clinics here tend to have at least some experience with foreign patients, even if they’re not formally bilingual.
