Tokyo Metropolitan Tobu Regional Hospital is a public hospital run by the Tokyo Metropolitan Hospital Organization, sitting in Kameari — that part of Katsushika most people only know from the manga. As a metro-run facility, it operates with the accountability and staffing depth you’d expect from a public institution. Internal medicine is the backbone here, meaning you’re covered for the chronic stuff, complex diagnostics, and referrals that a small clinic can’t handle.

English capability is described as conversational, which in practice usually means at least one or two staff members can get through a consultation without you both staring at a phone. Don’t expect a fully bilingual experience — this isn’t an international clinic — but it’s not a total language wall either. Bring your insurance card, any existing medical records in Japanese if you have them, and patience for paperwork. Public hospitals move at their own pace. The upside is they’re thorough, they’re accountable, and they won’t turn you away because you’re foreign.
