Hijiri Shika Iin
Hijiri Shika Iin (聖歯科医院) is a dental clinic sitting on the third floor of the Kogai Building in Kunitachi, a quiet residential city in western Tokyo along the Chuo Line. The clinic has a website with some English content, which suggests they’ve thought about international patients at least a little — but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fully bilingual experience. Japanese will be the working language here.
For expats in the Kunitachi or Tachikawa area, this is a geographically convenient option worth checking out. The clinic covers standard dental care — cleanings, fillings, that sort of thing. Before booking, it’s worth calling ahead or emailing through the website to gauge how much English support is actually available on the day. Google Translate or a translation app is a sensible backup regardless.
Third-floor location means elevator access is something to confirm if mobility matters to you.
Patient Feedback
Public review data for this clinic is limited, making it hard to paint a detailed picture of wait times or doctor style. What the website presence suggests is a practice that’s at least aware of non-Japanese patients. If you’ve been here, the expat community genuinely wants to know — things like whether the dentist explains procedures clearly, how long you actually waited, and whether the third-floor setup caused any issues.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
