Arai Shikaiin
Arai Shikaiin is a small dental clinic sitting on the second floor of Moribiru building in Hiratsuka, Shinagawa — a residential pocket of the ward, not the busiest commuter strip. It’s a general dentistry practice covering the usual range: cleanings, fillings, extractions, and basic restorative work.
The clinic has some English-language content on its website at tadental.jp, which is a decent sign — it suggests they’ve thought about non-Japanese patients at least a little. But whether that translates to a smooth English-speaking experience in the chair is genuinely unclear. Reception may have limited English, and complex treatment discussions could get tricky without a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend.
If you live in southern Shinagawa and need routine dental care, this is a reasonable local option to investigate. Just go in with realistic expectations: this is a neighborhood clinic, not an international medical center. Call ahead or send an email in simple English to gauge how comfortable they are before booking.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback specifically for Arai Shikaiin is limited in English-language sources. Based on the clinic’s profile, it appears to be a small, local practice — the kind where you’re likely seeing the same dentist each visit rather than rotating through a large team. Expect a quieter, more personal atmosphere than a chain clinic. Wait times at smaller Shinagawa practices tend to be manageable. Detailed English reviews are hard to find, so firsthand contact is your best research tool here.
