FUKUTOMI DENTAL CLINIC

Fukutomi Dental Clinic sits in a residential stretch of Itabashi-ku, tucked into the ground floor of a small apartment building in Hasune. It’s a neighborhood dental practice — the kind that’s been quietly treating local families rather than chasing international patients. The website has some English-language content, which suggests awareness of non-Japanese patients, but don’t expect a fully bilingual front desk. This is standard general dentistry: cleanings, fillings, extractions, the basics. If your Japanese is minimal, bring a translation app and write down your symptoms beforehand. The clinic isn’t in a tourist area, so walk-ins expecting English-first service may hit a wall. That said, smaller neighborhood clinics like this often have more patience with communication than busy urban practices. Hasune is on the Toei Mita Line, so access from central Tokyo is straightforward. Best suited for expats who live nearby in Itabashi and can manage basic communication or have a Japanese-speaking friend to call ahead.
