  • Anan Shika Iin is a small dental clinic tucked into the first floor of the Win Dai 2 Gotanda Building in Osaki, Shinagawa. It’s a neighborhood dentist — not a flashy international clinic — so don’t walk in expecting a bilingual receptionist and an English intake form waiting on the desk.

    The clinic does have some English content on its website, which is more than many local dentists bother with. That’s a decent signal that they’re at least aware foreign patients exist. Whether that translates to smooth chair-side communication is genuinely unclear. Basic procedures like cleanings and fillings tend to survive a language gap better than complex consultations, so your mileage will vary depending on what you need done.

    Location-wise, Osaki and Gotanda stations are both close, which makes this convenient if you’re in Shinagawa or commuting through the area. If you’re a confident communicator or willing to use a translation app, this could work well for routine dental care.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback points to a straightforward, no-fuss dental experience — typical of a well-run neighborhood clinic. Wait times appear reasonable. The dentist is described as thorough on cleanings and attentive during exams. The vibe is quiet and clinical rather than warm and chatty. Don’t expect a lot of small talk. For expats, the experience seems workable for routine visits, though complex treatment discussions may hit a wall without some Japanese or a translation assist.

    English Language Proficiency

    The clinic has English content on its website, which sets it apart from the average local dentist. But that doesn't guarantee English-speaking staff at the front desk or during treatment. No confirmed reports of bilingual doctors or English forms. Realistically, you'll want Google Translate or a Japanese-speaking friend for anything beyond pointing at a tooth. For a cleaning or simple filling, you'll probably manage. For a root canal conversation, prepare more carefully.
