Each listing below shows the clinic's opening hours and supported languages, so check before you go — evening and weekend availability varies.
If you would rather stay put, MediFind Tokyo can arrange a doctor's house call to hotels in the Ikebukuro area, or an online consultation you can take from your room in your own language.
