Anazawa Shika
Anazawa Shika is a dental clinic in Naruse, a quiet residential part of Machida in southwest Tokyo. Machida isn’t a typical expat hub, but if you live in the Tama area or commute through it, this is a solid local option worth knowing about.
The clinic has some English content on its website, which suggests at least some awareness of non-Japanese patients — but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a smooth English conversation. Bring a translation app and ideally prep some written notes about your symptoms beforehand. The website covers general dentistry, preventive care, and cosmetic treatments.
For routine stuff — cleanings, fillings, checkups — the language barrier is manageable with a bit of preparation. Complex treatment discussions are where things get harder without a Japanese speaker along.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a calm, unhurried clinic atmosphere — typical of smaller neighborhood dental practices in Japan. Appointment waits are generally short. Dentists are described as thorough and gentle, which tracks with the careful, methodical style common at Japanese dental clinics. Nothing flashy, but patients seem to feel well looked after. No strong pattern of English-specific feedback, which suggests most patients are local Japanese residents.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
