Tsukiji Zaitaku Shinryojo
Tsukiji Zaitaku Shinryojo is an internal medicine clinic on the third floor of a building in Tsukiji, Chuo-ku — a neighborhood most foreigners know for the old fish market area, well-connected and easy to reach. The name gives it away: “zaitaku” means home visit, so this clinic has a strong focus on visiting patients who can’t easily get to a clinic themselves. That said, they do see patients in-clinic too.
Their website has some English content, which suggests awareness of international patients, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a smooth English consultation. It’s unclear whether staff can hold a full medical conversation in English. Come prepared with a translation app, written symptom notes, or a Japanese-speaking friend if your Japanese isn’t solid. For expats with home-visit needs — elderly parents visiting from abroad, mobility issues, or just can’t face the hospital system — this place is worth knowing about. Standard internal medicine otherwise.
Patient Feedback
Public review data on this clinic is limited, which often means it’s small, quiet, and not heavily foot-traffic driven — consistent with a home-visit-oriented practice. Patients who seek out this type of clinic typically value the personal, unhurried approach over the conveyor-belt feel of bigger hospitals. Expect a smaller waiting room, fewer patients at once, and a doctor who has time to actually talk. Not a walk-in urgent care situation.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
