TOHO University Ohashi Medical Center
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
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
