Tomisawa Clinic
About
Tomisawa Clinic, located in Hachiman-cho, Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture, is a psychiatric specialty clinic. Director Dr. Osamu Tomisawa holds a medical doctorate, is a designated physician for mental health, and is a certified specialist of the Japanese Society of Psychiatry and Neurology. After working as a physician and lecturer in the neurology department of Tokyo Medical University Hospital, he opened a clinic in Shinjuku, Tokyo in 2004, before relocating to his hometown of Matsue in 2014. The clinic addresses a wide range of psychiatric conditions—including panic disorder, stress-related illness, depression, eating disorders, social withdrawal (hikikomori), and school refusal—through a combined approach of counseling and pharmacotherapy. The clinic also provides medical information on psychiatric and psychosomatic treatment and offers second opinions, making it a resource for patients currently under the care of other medical institutions. Additionally, an online consultation service called "Kokage no Soudan-shitsu" (Counseling Room in the Shade) is available, allowing patients to receive advice from a psychiatrist regarding concerns or questions about seeking treatment. Dr. Tomisawa has an extensive academic record in research on eating disorders and art therapy, and has authored books including "Depression That Heals and Depression That Doesn't" and "The Body of Betrayal: Eating Disorders as an Exit." Consultations are held on weekday-centered morning and afternoon sessions, with evening slots available until 8:00 PM. English-language consultations are available. The clinic has a parking lot and is conveniently accessible—approximately 8 minutes on foot from Higashi-Matsue Station on the JR San'in Main Line, and about 1 minute from the Matsue City Bus stop "Takeuchi-jinja-mae."
