USHIO E.N.T Clinic

USHIO E.N.T Clinic sits on the second floor of the Lavie Claire Kanamachi building in Katsushika — not the most central Tokyo neighborhood, but a genuinely local area where you’re not going to find wall-to-wall international clinics. This is an independent ENT practice covering the usual territory: ear infections, sinus issues, throat problems, hearing checks, allergies. The staff have conversational English capability, which means you can get the basics across without resorting entirely to Google Translate, though you shouldn’t expect a fully bilingual consultation. Think functional communication, not fluent. They have some English resources available, which helps with paperwork anxiety. The clinic runs on a Japanese community-practice model — neighborhood patients, standard Japanese health insurance accepted, no frills. If you’re living in the Katsushika, Edogawa, or eastern Tokyo area and need a reliable ENT without trekking into central Tokyo, this is worth knowing about.
