FURUKAWA DENTAL CLINIC
Furukawa Dental Clinic sits in the Hyakunincho neighborhood of Shinjuku, tucked inside the West Toyama Tower Homes complex — a residential area that’s home to a lot of long-term expats and foreign residents, so the clinic isn’t totally unfamiliar with international patients. It’s a general dental practice covering the usual bases: cleanings, fillings, extractions, and basic restorative work.
The website has some English-facing elements, which is a decent sign, but don’t show up expecting a fully bilingual experience. Reception is likely Japanese-primary. A translation app on your phone is a smart move. That said, the Hyakunincho area has enough international foot traffic that staff here probably won’t panic if you walk in speaking English — they’ve seen it before.
No standout specialty focus beyond general dentistry. Good for routine care and maintenance if you live or work in Shinjuku and don’t want to trek across the city for a cleaning.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a straightforward, no-frills dental experience. Appointments tend to run on schedule. The dentist is described as thorough without being alarmist — they explain what they’re doing rather than just diving in. The clinic feels more neighborhood practice than slick urban dental chain, which some people prefer. Wait times are generally short. The vibe is calm and unhurried, which helps if dental visits stress you out.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
