YOYOGI Hospital
YOYOGI Hospital is a mid-sized general hospital in Shibuya’s Sendagaya neighborhood with a dermatology department inside it — so you’re getting hospital-level infrastructure, not a standalone skin clinic. The address puts you about a 10-minute walk from Yoyogi Station or Sendagaya Station, tucked into a quieter residential stretch away from Shibuya’s chaos.
The hospital has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a smooth English conversation at reception. Reality is probably a mix of basic English, gestures, and Google Translate filling the gaps. Bring your Japanese insurance card, write down your symptoms beforehand, and maybe have a translation app ready.
For dermatology specifically, this is a solid option if you’re already in the Shibuya area and need to see someone about a skin issue without trekking to an international clinic. It’s a working-class, community-oriented hospital — functional, no-frills, not catering specifically to expats.
Patient Feedback
Patient experience here tends to match what you’d expect from a busy community hospital dermatology department — competent, efficient, not a lot of hand-holding. Wait times can stretch depending on the day. Doctors are generally thorough but appointments move quickly, so have your questions ready. The hospital has a no-frills, get-it-done atmosphere. Not the place for a leisurely consultation, but patients generally leave with a diagnosis and a treatment plan.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
