Update: The flu is circulating earlier than usual this year, with reports of school closures in Japan due to outbreaks. The World Health Organization also noted elevated influenza activity in parts of Asia as of late August 2025.

We have refined our hours to place greater emphasis on our established patients and hotel guests. This schedule will allow us to remain available to those who rely on us most while preserving the calm and personalized experience that defines our care.

New patient access will be limited and considered on a case-by-case basis, with a waitlist available as capacity allows. This change reflects our commitment to quality, ensuring that every visit receives the time and attention it deserves.

Thank you for your trust and understanding as we continue to evolve. Our focus is on delivering the highest level of care, ensuring you feel supported, connected, and confident in every encounter.

Dear Patients,

We would like to inform you that Japan is currently experiencing a nationwide shortage of many medications. A number of essential pharmaceutical products have become difficult to obtain or have been abruptly discontinued due to supply chain disruptions and production issues beyond our control.

At American Clinic Tokyo, we remain committed to supporting our patients during this time. We are in constant communication with our suppliers and continue to make every effort to maintain adequate stock. However, despite our best efforts, there may be occasional delays or substitutions.

We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding. To help minimize potential disruptions to your treatment, we kindly ask that you plan ahead and schedule your visits early whenever possible.

Thank you for your continued trust and cooperation.

Pfizer Japan has launched TicoVac®, the country’s first approved vaccine to prevent Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE), available in adult (0.5mL) and pediatric (0.25mL) formulations. TBE is a serious viral infection transmitted by ticks, with symptoms ranging from fever and headache to severe neurological issues. The Far Eastern subtype, found in Hokkaido, has a fatality rate over 20%, with long-term complications in many survivors.

While previously rare in Japan, recent cases in Hokkaido and antibody findings in multiple prefectures suggest the virus may be more widespread. Limited awareness and testing may mean many cases go undiagnosed.

TicoVac® has been used safely in Europe since the 1970s and was officially approved in Japan in March 2024. It is recommended for residents in at-risk regions and travelers to endemic areas. Contact us to learn more or schedule your vaccination.

*Three doses and 5-12 months will be needed to complete the initial series.

At American Clinic Tokyo, we require all patients to schedule an appointment in advance to ensure that we can allocate adequate time for each patient and maintain the highest standards of privacy and infection control. To make an appointment, please send us the following information to info@americanclinictokyo.com:

・Your name
・Date of birth
・Contact number or email
・Reason for your visit
