Hamadayama Station (Inokashira Line) — 2 min walk
  • Orthodontics and general dentistry combined
  • Near central Tokyo
  • AERU Shika and Kyosei Shika sits in Hamadayama, a quiet residential pocket of Suginami — not the kind of area you stumble into, so patients here are mostly locals and nearby residents. The clinic covers general dentistry and orthodontics under one roof, which is handy if you’re dealing with both cavity work and alignment issues at the same time.

    Their website has some English content, which suggests they’ve thought about international patients at least a little. Whether that translates to fluent chairside conversation is a different question — don’t count on it. A translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend could save you some back-and-forth, especially for orthodontic consultations where the details matter.

    Hamadayama Station on the Keio Inokashira Line is your stop. It’s a small station, so the clinic is easy to find once you’re there. If you’re living in Suginami and need a neighborhood dentist who handles both routine care and braces, this is worth checking out. Just go in with realistic expectations about the English level.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback points to a calm, unhurried clinic atmosphere — consistent with the neighborhood feel. Doctors are described as thorough during exams, not rushed. The orthodontics side gets positive mentions for clear treatment planning. Wait times appear reasonable for a local clinic. No strong complaints about communication, though most reviewers are Japanese speakers, so the English experience isn’t well documented in public reviews.

    English Language Proficiency

    The website includes some English, which is a good sign — but that's the ceiling of what's confirmed. Reception English is unknown. For a basic cleaning you might get by with pointing and gesturing, but orthodontic consultations involve real back-and-forth: timelines, costs, appliance types. Bring Google Translate or a Japanese-speaking friend for anything beyond routine work. Don't expect English forms. Calling ahead to ask about English support is worth the awkward phone call.
