What is our Inbound Outpatient Service?
Sumida Ryogoku Machinaka Clinic provides internal medicine and pediatric care 360 days a year, a 2-minute walk from Ryogoku Station. We offer outpatient care for international visitors staying in Japan — including sudden illness and help refilling regular medications.
If you are worried about the language, you can still receive care smoothly by bringing your medication record (Okusuri-techo), an English prescription, or by using a translation app.
Why choose us
Reliable, in-person medical care for visitors to Japan.
We put your health and safety first.
Same-day acute care
Fever, colds, stomach trouble and other sudden symptoms during your stay are examined and treated in person.
Medication refill support
Bring your medication record or prescription and we will help within the scope we can provide.
Clear fee schedule
Self-pay fees from ¥25,000 (tax included), depending on the day and time. Credit cards accepted, medical certificate included.
Conditions we can treat
We treat sudden symptoms that commonly occur during a stay in Japan.
- Fever & cold symptoms (cough, sore throat, runny nose)
- Seasonal infections (flu-like illness)
- Stomach trouble (abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea)
- Sudden allergic symptoms (such as hives)
- Sudden fever or illness in children
Run out of your regular medication?
If you have run out of the medicine you usually take, please consult us. Bringing something that shows the name, ingredient and dosage of your medication (a medication record, an English prescription, or a photo / the package) will help your visit go smoothly.
After examining you, we will prescribe within the scope of what we are able to provide. Some medications — such as psychotropic drugs and certain special medicines — may not be available; in that case we will refer you to an appropriate medical institution.
