Asano Shika Clinic
Asano Shika Clinic sits on the third floor of the Kuriyama Building in Hiratsuka, Meguro — a quiet residential pocket of Tokyo that most expats pass through rather than stop in. That’s a shame, because this dental clinic covers the full range: cleanings, fillings, crowns, implants, and orthodontics without sending you elsewhere for every little thing.
The English situation is conversational — someone at the front desk can handle the basics, and they have some English-language materials to help you understand what’s happening in your mouth. You won’t need a Japanese-speaking friend to book an appointment or explain a toothache. That said, highly technical treatment discussions might hit a wall, so bring a translation app for anything complicated.
It’s a neighborhood clinic with neighborhood energy — not flashy, not a medical tourist destination. If you live in Meguro or nearby and just need a reliable dentist who won’t make you feel like an inconvenience for not speaking Japanese, this is a solid option worth bookmarking.
Patient Feedback
Patients tend to describe Asano Shika as thorough and unhurried — the kind of place where the dentist actually explains what they’re doing rather than just drilling and billing. Wait times are generally reasonable for a neighborhood clinic. The atmosphere is calm and low-key, which helps if dental chairs make you nervous. Nothing about the experience feels rushed or assembly-line. Recurring patients seem to stick around, which usually says more than any review.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
