Ohashi Station (Tokyu Toyoko Line) — 2 min walk
  • University-level dermatology specialist
  • Near central Tokyo
  • TOHO University Ohashi Medical Center is a university-affiliated hospital sitting in Meguro’s Ohashi neighborhood, about a 10-minute walk from Ikejiri-Ohashi Station on the Den-en-toshi Line. The dermatology department is part of a full-service academic hospital, so you’re getting specialist-level care backed by a teaching institution rather than a standalone skin clinic.

    The hospital has some English content on its website, but don’t count on smooth English service at the desk or in the consultation room. This is a Japanese-language environment. Come with a translation app ready, and if your condition is complex, bring a Japanese-speaking friend or a written summary of your symptoms in Japanese. That said, academic hospital dermatologists here are trained to handle a wide range of conditions — from chronic eczema and psoriasis to more complicated diagnoses that a neighborhood clinic might punt on. If you need serious dermatological investigation rather than a quick prescription refill, this is the kind of place that can actually dig in.

    Patient Feedback

    Patients generally report thorough consultations — this is a teaching hospital, so doctors tend to be methodical. Wait times can run long, especially on weekday mornings when it gets busy. The dermatology department handles cases that smaller clinics won’t touch, which draws patients with more complex skin conditions. Bedside manner is professional but clinical. Don’t expect warmth or hand-holding. Do expect competence.

    English Language Proficiency

    The website has some English-language pages, but that doesn't translate to English-speaking staff at reception or in the exam room. Assume Japanese-only unless you confirm otherwise before your visit. A translation app like Google Translate or DeepL will do heavy lifting here. Written notes in Japanese about your symptoms, medications, and medical history will make the visit significantly smoother. No confirmed English-language intake forms.
