Sick in Shinjuku, Tokyo? Find clinics that welcome foreign visitors near Shinjuku Station and Kabukicho, plus hotel house calls and online consultations.
Shinjuku is one of Tokyo's largest hotel districts, and thousands of travelers wake up here every morning — some of them, unfortunately, with a fever, a stomach bug, or a rough feeling after a night in Kabukicho that turns out to be more than tiredness. Whether your hotel is near Kabukicho, the bars of Golden Gai, or the quieter streets by Shinjuku Gyoen, medical help is closer than you might think.
The blocks around Shinjuku Station hold a dense mix of internal medicine and general practice clinics, along with a range of specialists, and many are accustomed to international patients thanks to the area's heavy visitor traffic.
