How our listings work
Clinics in this directory come from Japan's official registry of medical facilities. We include the clinics that show signs of offering care in English. kitsunagu is a directory, not a referral service, and nothing on this page is medical advice: we do not recommend one clinic over another, so check the details directly with the clinic.
Frequently asked questions

Do the doctors at these clinics speak English?
Every clinic listed here shows signs of offering care in English, but how much varies: sometimes it is the doctor, sometimes reception staff or written information. Ask before you book.
Is it free to use kitsunagu?
