Yashima Mental Clinic

Yashima Mental Clinic sits on the 5th floor of the I&K Building in West Shinjuku — easy walking distance from Shinjuku Station, which matters when you’re already anxious about a medical appointment. Despite the name including “Mental,” this is listed as an internal medicine clinic, so don’t expect a full psychiatric setup. The website has some English-language content, which is a decent sign, but whether that translates to an English-speaking receptionist or doctor in the room is genuinely unclear. West Shinjuku is well-connected and not intimidating to navigate, so the location itself isn’t a barrier. If you’re a non-Japanese speaker, go in with a translation app ready and your symptoms written down. Don’t assume a smooth English experience, but don’t rule it out either. Worth a direct email or phone call before your first visit to test the waters on English capability.
