Tums Sougou Clinic Koiwa

Tums Sougou Clinic Koiwa is a general clinic with a dermatology department sitting on the second floor of the Kanagawa Building in Higashi-Koiwa, Edogawa. Edogawa isn’t the most expat-dense ward in Tokyo, so finding a skin clinic that can actually hold a conversation in English is genuinely useful here. Staff have conversational English ability, which means you can explain what’s going on without fully pantomiming a rash. Don’t expect a fully bilingual consultation, but you won’t be completely on your own either. It’s a sougou (general) clinic, so dermatology shares space with other departments — practical if you’ve got more than one thing to deal with. The clinic is part of the Towakai medical group, which gives it some institutional backbone. If you’re living in the Koiwa or Edogawa area and dealing with skin issues — acne, eczema, mystery reactions to Japanese laundry detergent — this is a reasonable local option without trekking into central Tokyo.
