Hirano Shika Iin

Hirano Shika Iin sits in Koenji Minami, one of the more livable pockets of Suginami — easy to reach, not overwhelming. It’s a general dental clinic handling the usual range: cleanings, fillings, crowns, and checkups. The website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a full conversation in English at the front desk. Come prepared with a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend for anything complicated. For routine work, the visual nature of dental care helps bridge the gap — dentists can point, show, and demonstrate even when words fail. It’s a neighborhood clinic, not a foreigner-specialist practice, but the presence of English on their site suggests they’re at least aware that non-Japanese patients exist and aren’t trying to turn them away.
