Hiratsuka Station (Keihin-Tohoku Line) — 3 min walk
  • English content on clinic website
  • Near central Tokyo
  • Arai Shikaiin is a small dental clinic on the second floor of Moribiru building in Hiratsuka, Shinagawa — not the most obvious location, but straightforward enough once you know where you’re going. It’s a general dentistry practice covering the usual range: cleanings, fillings, extractions, and likely some cosmetic work. The website (tadental.jp) has some English-facing content, which suggests they’ve thought about international patients at least a little. That said, “some English online” doesn’t automatically mean the front desk will handle a full conversation in English without friction. If your Japanese is limited, go in with a translation app ready and your key dental history written down. It’s a neighborhood clinic — not a big international medical center — so the experience will feel local and personal rather than polished and multilingual. For routine dental work in Shinagawa, it’s a reasonable option worth a call to check current English availability before booking.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback points to a small, no-fuss neighborhood dental office. Appointments tend to move on schedule — no notorious wait times reported. The dentist is described as thorough and calm, not rushed. It has the feel of a local family clinic rather than a high-volume urban practice. Patients seem to leave knowing what was done and why, which counts for a lot. Nothing flashy, but competent and consistent.

    English Language Proficiency

    The clinic's website includes some English content, which is a good sign — it means they're at least aware that non-Japanese patients exist. But confirmed English fluency at the front desk or chair-side isn't documented. Expect a mixed experience: maybe one staff member with basic English, but not a full bilingual consultation. Bring a translation app, have your symptoms written in Japanese if possible, and confirm English availability by phone or email before your appointment.
