Tobita Seikei is a combined orthopedics and internal medicine clinic sitting on the ground floor of the Kagurazaka Masumoto Building in Yaraichō, Shinjuku. That’s a quiet residential pocket of Shinjuku, close to Kagurazaka — not the chaos of the main station area. Good for people living in that northwest slice of the city.

The clinic covers two distinct departments: orthopedics (seikei) handles bones, joints, back pain, sports injuries; internal medicine (naika) handles the everyday stuff — fevers, fatigue, chronic conditions. Having both under one roof is genuinely useful.

English capability is murky. The website has some English-facing content, which suggests they’re at least aware foreign patients exist. But whether that translates to a fluent English-speaking receptionist or doctor at your actual appointment is unconfirmed. Bring a translation app, have your symptoms written out in Japanese if you can, and don’t count on a smooth English conversation. That said, for non-emergency visits in a calmer neighborhood setting, it’s manageable.
