Yamane-ko Mental Health Clinic for Children and Families
About
Located in Minami-Karasuyama, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, this clinic is a pediatric facility operated by the Social Welfare Corporation Child Abuse Prevention Center. Opened in April 2019, it is affectionately known as 'Yamaneko' (lynx), named for the sharp eyesight, keen sense of smell, and independent spirit of the wildcat. The clinic operates Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM (closed for lunch from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM), and is closed on weekends, holidays, all Saturdays and Sundays, and the New Year holiday period (December 29 to January 4). The clinic provides English language support and barrier-free accessibility, and accepts appointments for new patients. Guidance is available for first-time patients, referring institutions, and current patients.
