Yazawa Clinic

Yazawa Clinic is a small internal medicine practice tucked into the second floor of a building in Uehara, a quiet residential pocket of Shibuya Ward. It’s the kind of neighborhood clinic that handles the everyday stuff — colds, chronic conditions, checkups, referrals — rather than emergencies or specialist procedures.

The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but that doesn’t automatically mean smooth English communication at reception or during consultations. It likely means someone there has made an effort, but you should go in prepared. A translation app as backup is a smart move.

This is not a foreigner-focused expat clinic. It’s a local Japanese practice that may be able to help English speakers, but expect the experience to lean Japanese-first. If your Japanese is functional, or you’re comfortable navigating with visual aids and patience, this could work well as a neighborhood GP option. If you need fluent English medical care, you’ll want to call ahead and confirm before booking.
