About Us

Your trusted family doctor in Tokyo — for travelers and expats alike.

Our Mission

Japan International Clinic ASAKUSA was founded with a simple belief: no one should suffer through illness alone in a foreign country because of a language barrier.

Whether you are a tourist who suddenly developed a fever, a business traveler with a stomach problem, or an expat who needs a regular family doctor — we are here to be your first point of contact for healthcare in Japan. We provide the same level of care and communication that you would expect from a doctor in your home country.

Our staff communicates in English, Chinese (Mandarin), Korean, and Japanese, so you can describe your symptoms accurately and understand your diagnosis fully — no guesswork, no lost-in-translation moments.

Why Choose Us

Multilingual Staff

Speak with our doctors and nurses in English, Chinese, Korean, or Japanese. Explain your symptoms in your own words and receive clear explanations you can understand.

Why Asakusa?

Asakusa is one of Tokyo’s most visited neighborhoods, home to the iconic Sensoji Temple, Nakamise-dori shopping street, and Tokyo Skytree views. Millions of international visitors pass through this area each year.

We chose this location deliberately — to be exactly where travelers need us most. Whether you are staying in Asakusa, Ueno, Akihabara, or the wider Taito area, our clinic is just a short train or taxi ride away. Being one minute from the station (served by the Tobu Skytree Line, Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, and Tsukuba Express) means you can reach us easily from anywhere in Tokyo.
