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
Can I bring my child's vaccination records from abroad?
Yes, and it helps. Bring them to the first visit so the clinic can see what your child has already had. Ask in advance whether they can read records in your language.
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?
Yes. Searching the directory is free. You contact clinics directly and pay the clinic for any care you receive.
