chofu raionzu shikaiin
Chofu Lions Dental Clinic sits inside a Lion’s Mansion residential building in Kokuryocho, Chofu — a quiet western Tokyo neighborhood that’s home to a lot of long-term expat residents. It’s a general dentistry practice covering the usual range: cleanings, fillings, crowns, extractions, implants, and orthodontics.
The English situation is real but modest. Staff have conversational English, which means you can get through an appointment without resorting entirely to your phone’s translation app. Don’t expect fluent clinical explanations, but basic communication — describing pain, understanding treatment plans at a broad level — is doable. Their website has some English-language content, which helps you prep before you walk in.
It’s a neighborhood clinic, not a big expat-facing practice. If you live in Chofu or Setagaya and need reliable dental care without trekking into central Tokyo, this is a genuinely practical option.
Patient Feedback
Patients tend to describe this as a calm, unhurried practice — the kind of place where the dentist actually explains what they’re doing. Wait times are generally reasonable for a neighborhood clinic. No reports of overselling unnecessary treatments, which is worth noting in Japan’s dental landscape. The residential building location feels a little tucked away at first, but regulars don’t seem to mind once they know where they’re going.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
