Tokyo Metropolitan Cancer and Infectious diseases Center Komagome Hospital

Komagome Hospital is a major Tokyo Metropolitan public hospital in Bunkyo, specializing in cancer treatment and infectious diseases. It’s a serious, high-capacity facility — not a neighborhood clinic. If you’ve been referred here, it’s likely for something that needs real specialist attention.

The hospital has some English content on its website, but don’t expect a smooth English-language experience at the front desk or during consultations. This is a large Japanese public hospital that runs on Japanese systems. Bring a Japanese-speaking friend, a medical interpreter, or at minimum a solid translation app. The staff aren’t unfriendly — they’re just busy and working in Japanese.

Location-wise, it’s tucked into a residential part of Bunkyo, walkable from Komagome Station on the Yamanote and Namboku lines. Getting there is easy. Navigating the intake process without Japanese support is the harder part.
