Ginza Station (Ginza Line) — 2 min walk
  • Ground-floor Ginza location
  • Near central Tokyo
  • Ando Dental Office sits on the ground floor of the Ginza Chikuyotei Building in Ginza 8-chome — a quiet stretch of Ginza that’s easy to reach but not in the middle of the tourist chaos. It’s a standard single-dentist neighborhood practice, not a big multilingual clinic, so don’t walk in expecting English-speaking staff at the front desk. Their website has some English content, which is a good sign they’re aware foreign patients exist, but that doesn’t guarantee fluent conversation once you’re inside. For routine stuff — cleaning, cavity, checkup — you can probably muddle through with a translation app and some patience. If you need to explain complicated dental history or symptoms, prep a written summary in Japanese beforehand. The Ginza location means it’s convenient for people working or living in central Tokyo. It’s the kind of place a local would go, not a clinic built around expat needs.

    Patient Feedback

    No substantial English-language patient reviews are publicly available for this clinic. Given its neighborhood practice setup in Ginza, patients likely experience a fairly typical Japanese dental office — efficient, thorough, minimal small talk. Appointment-based, so walk-ins probably aren’t ideal. Expect standard Japanese clinic procedures: detailed paperwork upfront, methodical treatment, and a dentist who takes their time rather than rushing you out.

    English Language Proficiency

    The honest answer: unclear. The website has some English-facing content, which puts them ahead of many local practices, but there's no confirmed English-speaking staff on record. Reception is likely Japanese-only. Bring Google Translate or a translation app you're comfortable using. Writing down your symptoms and dental history in Japanese before your visit will save real friction. Not a clinic built for expats, but not hostile to them either.
