Appuruka Shika
Appuruka Shika is a general dental clinic in Fuchu City, western Tokyo — about 30 minutes from Shinjuku on the Keio Line. They handle the standard range: cleanings, fillings, extractions, crowns, and routine checkups.
Their website has some English-language content, which suggests they’ve thought about non-Japanese patients at least a little. But how well that translates to the actual appointment experience isn’t confirmed. Reception is likely Japanese-only, so bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend if your Japanese is limited.
Fuchu isn’t a typical expat hub, so if you’re living or working out this way — near Fuchu or Tachikawa — this could be a convenient local option. If you’re coming from central Tokyo specifically for this clinic, you’d want to call ahead and confirm they can accommodate you before making the trip.
Solid neighborhood dental office. Probably fine for most routine work. English support is a question mark you’ll want to answer before you show up.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a straightforward neighborhood dental practice — thorough cleanings, clear explanations of treatment plans (in Japanese), and reasonable wait times. It reads like a clinic that takes its time rather than rushing you through. No reports of particularly long delays. The vibe is calm and clinical, not flashy. Nothing polarizing in the reviews — just a steady, reliable local dentist doing standard work well.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
