Arai Shikaiin
Arai Shikaiin is a small dental clinic on the second floor of Mori Building in Hiratsuka, Shinagawa — a quiet residential pocket of the ward, away from the main Shinagawa station buzz. The clinic covers standard dental work: cleanings, fillings, extractions, and general oral care. Nothing flashy, just a neighborhood dentist doing steady work.
The website has some English content, which suggests they’ve thought about non-Japanese patients at least a little. But don’t assume that means fluent English-speaking staff waiting at the front desk. The reality is probably closer to basic English phrases, pointing, and a lot of goodwill. Bring a translation app as backup and have your dental history written out in Japanese if you can manage it.
It’s a practical choice if you live or work in southern Shinagawa and need routine dental care without trekking to a larger international clinic. For complex procedures or heavy communication needs, you might want to call ahead and test the waters first.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a no-frills neighborhood dental practice — efficient appointments, minimal waiting, and a straightforward clinical approach. The dentist is described as thorough without being chatty, which works fine if communication is limited anyway. It’s the kind of place regulars return to for cleanings and basic fixes. Not a big operation, so expect a personal feel rather than a polished clinic experience.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
