FUJITA DENTAL CLINIC

Fujita Dental Clinic is a neighborhood dental practice in Saginomiya, the quieter western part of Nakano Ward. It’s a small, privately-run clinic — the kind that’s been serving local families for years rather than chasing the international patient crowd.

Their website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fully English consultation. Reception may have limited English, and complex treatment discussions could get tricky without some Japanese or a translation app handy.

For routine work — cleanings, fillings, basic checkups — the language barrier is manageable. You point, they show you on a model or screen, you get the idea. For anything involving treatment plans, extractions, or orthodontics, come prepared with written notes or Google Translate open.

Saginomiya Station on the Seibu Shinjuku Line is your access point. It’s not the most central location for expats clustered around Shinjuku or Shibuya, but if you’re living in Nakano or nearby, this is a solid local option worth knowing about.
