  • Aiaikodomo to Otona Shika (the name roughly means “Aiai Children and Adults Dental”) is a general dentistry clinic tucked into the first floor of the Domani Building in Waseda, Shinjuku. It’s a neighborhood practice — not a flashy expat-facing clinic — so walk in expecting a local feel. They treat both kids and adults, which is useful if you’re managing dental care for a whole family.

    The website has some English content, which suggests they’ve thought about non-Japanese patients, but don’t assume the front desk will hold a full conversation in English. Come prepared with a translation app or write down your symptoms in Japanese beforehand. Waseda is well-connected but slightly off the main Shinjuku drag — closer to Waseda Station on the Tōzai Line than to Shinjuku Station itself. If you’re in the early Shinjuku area or near Waseda University, this is a convenient option. Best for expats comfortable navigating some language friction in exchange for a solid, community-style dental practice.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback points to a calm, unhurried practice — the kind of place where the dentist actually explains what they’re doing before drilling. Wait times seem reasonable for a neighborhood clinic. Families with children tend to mention the welcoming atmosphere for younger patients. It’s not a high-volume, conveyor-belt operation. That said, reviews are limited in English, so most of the picture comes from Japanese-language feedback.

    English Language Proficiency

    The clinic has some English on its website, which is a decent sign — but that doesn't guarantee English-speaking staff at reception or chairside. Realistically, expect Japanese-primary service. A translation app like Google Translate or DeepL will help a lot. Writing your main complaint or dental history in Japanese beforehand saves time. No confirmed English forms. If your Japanese is zero and you're anxious about communication, bring a Japanese-speaking friend for your first visit.
