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.

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.
