Usuda Clinic
About
Usuda Clinic, located along Kikusaka-dori in Hongo, Bunkyo Ward, is a community-based clinic specializing in internal medicine, a six-minute walk from Hongo-sanchome Station on the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi and Oedo lines. The clinic's director, Dr. Yasuhiro Usuda, draws on his background in pathology to take a broad view of organic changes across the entire body while also incorporating Kampo (traditional Japanese) medicine's approach to functional disorders. This dual perspective forms the core of his practice, enabling him to carefully understand each patient's overall condition. Beyond general internal medicine, the clinic addresses a wide range of physical and mental concerns, including low mood, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, and difficulty concentrating. Patients can feel comfortable consulting the clinic even about vague or hard-to-describe discomfort. Guided by the director's philosophy of aiming to be a generalist rather than a specialist, the clinic serves as a family doctor for the entire community. It is known for clear, easy-to-understand explanations and a thorough, attentive consultation style that takes the time to listen until patients feel satisfied. This makes it an especially suitable choice for those experiencing vague symptoms who may not know how to describe what they are feeling. The clinic is open on weekdays and Saturdays during morning and afternoon hours, and is closed on Sundays, national holidays, and the year-end/New Year period.
