Abe Shika Iin

Abe Shika Iin is a neighborhood dental clinic tucked into the first floor of the Urban Core Building in Higashimotomachi, Kokubunji — a quieter residential pocket of western Tokyo. It’s a general dentistry practice covering the usual range: cleanings, fillings, extractions, and likely some cosmetic work.

The website has some English-language content, which is a good sign, but that doesn’t automatically mean you’ll get a fluent English-speaking dentist or front desk. Think of it as “English-aware” rather than “English-fluent.” If your Japanese is zero, bring a translation app or a bilingual friend for anything more complex than a routine cleaning. For straightforward procedures where you can point at a tooth and say “this one hurts,” you’ll probably be fine.

Kokubunji is a JR Chuo Line stop — manageable from central Tokyo but not exactly a short hop. If you’re already living out that way, this is a solid local option. If you’re commuting from Shinjuku or further east just for dental care, you’d want a stronger English guarantee before making the trip.
