Asou shika
Asou Shika is a dental clinic tucked on the second floor of Sun Plaza Den-en-chofu in Okusawa, Setagaya — a quiet residential pocket that’s well off the tourist trail but convenient if you’re living in the southwest Tokyo suburbs. The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but don’t bank on full English-language service when you walk in. This is a local neighborhood dentist, not an international clinic. For routine stuff — cleanings, fillings, basic checkups — you can probably get by with a translation app and some patience. Anything more complex, bring a Japanese-speaking friend or prepare detailed notes in Japanese beforehand. The website is old-school (hosted on fc2, which tells you something), but that doesn’t reflect the care quality. It just means you shouldn’t expect slick online booking or English intake forms. Good option if you live nearby and want a regular dentist without commuting to central Tokyo.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a calm, unhurried clinic — the kind of place where you’re not shuffled out in 15 minutes. Locals describe the dentist as thorough and straightforward, no upselling. Wait times seem reasonable for a neighborhood practice. The vibe is quiet and functional, not flashy. It’s a small operation, so you’re likely seeing the same dentist each visit, which helps build continuity — especially useful when communication takes a little extra effort.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
