TSUNODA CLINIC
Tsunoda Clinic is a dermatology practice sitting in Minami-Senju, one of the more residential, less tourist-trodden parts of Arakawa. It’s a neighborhood clinic — not a big hospital dermatology wing, not a trendy skin center. Just a local derm practice that handles the full range of skin concerns: acne, eczema, rashes, moles, whatever’s going on with your skin.
The website has some English-language content, which suggests they’ve thought about non-Japanese patients at least a little. But that doesn’t automatically mean you’ll walk in and find English-fluent staff ready to go. It’s a genuine question mark. If your Japanese is minimal, come prepared — have your symptoms written down, bring a translation app, and don’t expect a fully bilingual consultation.
For expats living in Arakawa or northeastern Tokyo, this is a convenient local option for skin issues that don’t need a major hospital. If you need extensive English support, call ahead or go in with backup.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback on Tsunoda Clinic is limited in English-language sources, which is typical for smaller neighborhood clinics in Arakawa. Local Japanese reviewers tend to describe it as a no-frills, efficient practice — the kind of place that moves patients through without unnecessary waiting around. The doctor appears thorough for routine dermatological concerns. Don’t expect a long, leisurely consultation, but you’re likely to leave with a clear diagnosis and prescription rather than vague advice.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
