Takemoto Ladies Clinic

Takemoto Ladies Clinic is a small gynecology practice in Nerima’s Kamishakujii neighborhood — residential, quiet, not the kind of area most expats end up in by accident. It handles the standard range of women’s health: regular checkups, contraception, menstrual issues, and pregnancy-related care. The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but that doesn’t guarantee English-speaking staff at the desk or in the exam room. If your Japanese is limited, go prepared — have your questions written out, use a translation app, or bring someone who can help. It’s not a dedicated international clinic, so don’t expect a bilingual experience. That said, for expats living in western Tokyo who need a local, accessible option rather than trekking into central Tokyo, it fills a real gap. Appointments appear to be available online, which helps when you’re not confident on the phone in Japanese.
