Hinomaru Shika

Hinomaru Shika sits on the 9th floor of the Wakore Sendagi Building in Sendagi, Bunkyo — a quieter residential pocket of Tokyo that’s well-connected but not chaotic. It’s a general dental clinic covering the usual range: cleanings, fillings, crowns, and likely orthodontic consultations. The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume that means fluent chairside English. It suggests awareness of international patients rather than a fully bilingual setup. If you’re coming in for something straightforward, a translation app plus pointing at teeth will probably get you through. For anything complex — treatment planning, insurance paperwork, detailed diagnosis — bring a Japanese-speaking friend or prepare written notes. The Sendagi area itself is pleasant and easy to navigate from Sendagi Station on the Chiyoda Line. A solid neighborhood option for expats in Bunkyo who don’t want to trek to the city center for routine dental work.
