Yasuda Clinic

Yasuda Clinic is a dermatology practice tucked into the ground floor of a residential building in Higashi-Tateishi, Katsushika — one of Tokyo’s quieter, more working-class eastern wards. It’s not a flashy international clinic. This is a neighborhood skin doctor that locals actually use.

The clinic has some English-language content online, which suggests at least some awareness of non-Japanese patients, but don’t count on smooth English communication at the desk. A translation app is your friend here. That said, dermatology appointments often involve showing rather than explaining — pointing at a rash gets you pretty far.

If you’re living in Katsushika, Edogawa, or nearby and dealing with something like eczema, acne, hives, or a mystery rash, this is a practical local option. Just come prepared: bring your health insurance card, a translation app, and any medication names written in Japanese if possible.
