Asou shika

Asou Shika is a small dental clinic tucked on the second floor of Sun Plaza Den-en-chofu in Okuosawa, Setagaya. That building address puts you close to Den-en-chofu and Okusawa areas — leafy, residential, relatively easy to navigate. It’s a general dentistry practice covering the usual bases: checkups, cleanings, fillings, and likely basic restorative work.

The website exists but runs on an older free hosting platform, which tells you something about the operation — small, local, not chasing international patients. There’s some English content visible online, but whether that translates to actual English-speaking staff at reception or chairside is genuinely unclear. Don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a smooth English conversation. Come prepared with a translation app, written notes about your symptoms, or a Japanese-speaking friend if your dental Japanese is zero.

For expats already living in Setagaya who need a neighborhood dentist and can manage basic communication, it’s worth a call. For anyone needing complex treatment explained in detail in English, keep looking.
