Arai Shikaiin
Arai Shikaiin is a small dental clinic on the second floor of Moribiru building in Hiratsuka, Shinagawa — not the most obvious location, but manageable once you know where you’re going. The clinic covers standard dental work: cleanings, fillings, extractions, and routine checkups. Nothing flashy, just a neighborhood dentist doing neighborhood dentist things.
Their website has some English content, which suggests awareness of non-Japanese patients, but don’t assume that means fluent English-speaking staff waiting to greet you. The reality is probably functional at best — pointing, gesturing, maybe a translation app filling in the gaps. If you have a complex dental issue or need detailed treatment explanations, bring a Japanese-speaking friend or prepare your symptoms in writing beforehand.
For straightforward dental needs in Shinagawa, it’s a reasonable option. Just go in with realistic expectations about communication and you’ll be fine.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a no-frills neighborhood dental experience — reasonably quick appointments, a small and quiet waiting area, and a straightforward approach to treatment. The dentist appears thorough on standard procedures. It’s not a polished international clinic, so expect a functional, efficient visit rather than a hand-holding experience. Patients who come prepared tend to leave satisfied. Those expecting detailed English explanations unprompted may find it frustrating.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
