The International Clinic can be called an oasis in the middle of Tokyo desert. In the middle of Roppongi we suddenly encounter a mysteriously cozy house covered with trees and a rather small “inoculation” sign. I took the rabies injection in this clinic four months ago in order to prepare for the trip in Africa.

It doesn’t accept health insurance, but boasts one of the best waiting room around (it doesn’t look like a waiting room) and Dr.Aksenoff, who is over 70 years old but always there and welcomes anybody with his warm and tender attitude.
