Futaba Shika-Kyousei Shika
Futaba Shika-Kyousei Shika is a general and orthodontic dental clinic tucked into the first floor of the Men San Rise building in Nishi-Tsutsujigaoka, a quiet residential stretch of Chofu in western Tokyo. They cover the usual dental bases — cleanings, fillings, and restorations — plus orthodontic work including braces and alignment treatment, which is the “kyousei” part of the name.
The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a better sign than nothing, but don’t expect a fully bilingual experience at the front desk. Bring your Japanese address written down, have your insurance card ready, and use Google Translate for anything complex. The clinic is close to Nishi-Tsutsujigaoka Station on the Keio Line, making it reachable from Shinjuku in under 30 minutes. For expats in Chofu, Fuchu, or Setagaya who need solid orthodontic or routine dental care without trekking into central Tokyo, this is a practical option worth knowing about.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a calm, unhurried clinic — not the kind of place rushing you out the door. The orthodontic focus means the dentists here have real depth on alignment cases, not just the basics. Wait times appear reasonable for the area. The Chofu location means it skews toward local families and long-term residents rather than a transient expat crowd, so expect a Japanese-language-first environment. Thorough explanations, from what patients report, though mostly in Japanese.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
