Akazawa Shika Iin

Akazawa Shika Iin is a neighborhood dental clinic tucked into the residential streets of Matsunoki, Suginami — the kind of area where locals stay for decades because they find something that works. This is a general dentistry practice, so you’re covered for cleanings, fillings, extractions, and routine checkups. They’re not a specialist hospital, but they handle the everyday stuff well.

English here is conversational — someone at the front desk can get through a basic intake conversation without you needing to pull out Google Translate every thirty seconds. Don’t expect fully bilingual staff or English paperwork, but you won’t be standing there miming a toothache either. Their website is in Japanese, so booking ahead with a quick translated message or phone call is the smarter move.

The clinic is a solid choice for expats living in Suginami or nearby areas like Koenji or Nishi-Ogikubo who want a local dentist rather than trekking into central Tokyo for basic dental care.
