HAYASHI DENTAL CLINIC

Hayashi Dental Clinic sits on the third floor of a small office building in Hiratacho, Chiyoda — the kind of quiet government-district neighborhood where you’ll find more bureaucrats than tourists. That actually works in your favor: no crowds, no chaos. The clinic covers standard dental work — cleanings, fillings, general care. Their website has some English-language content, which suggests they’ve thought about international patients at least a little. But “website has English” and “staff speak English fluently” are very different things. Walk-in Japanese is almost certainly the default. If your dental Japanese is nonexistent, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend for anything beyond a basic cleaning. Appointment booking via phone will be in Japanese. That said, Chiyoda is central, easy to reach from multiple metro lines, and the Hirakawachō area is calm and navigable. If you’re working or living nearby and need a local dentist for routine care, this is a reasonable option — just go in with realistic expectations about the language situation.
