Hirayama Shika Clinic
Hirayama Shika Clinic is a dental clinic in Tachikawa’s Kashiwacho neighborhood — a residential part of western Tokyo, well outside the central expat hubs but accessible via the Tama Monorail. The clinic covers standard dental work: checkups, cleaning, fillings, and likely cosmetic and restorative procedures based on their site.
The English situation is genuinely unclear. Their website has some English-facing content, which suggests awareness of foreign patients, but that doesn’t always translate to fluent English at reception or chairside. If you go, bring a translation app and have your dental history written out. Google Translate will probably do more heavy lifting than you’d hope.
For expats living in Tachikawa, Akishima, or surrounding Tama area cities, this is a geographically logical option. For someone traveling from central Tokyo specifically for English-friendly dental care, there are better-confirmed options closer in. That said, if you’re local and need a dentist, it’s worth a call to gauge the language situation before booking.
Patient Feedback
No substantial English-language patient reviews are available for this clinic. Japanese-language feedback suggests a fairly standard neighborhood dental practice — routine appointments, reasonable wait times, and a no-frills clinical environment. Nothing points to unusually long delays or standout complaints. It reads like a competent local dentist rather than a specialist destination. Expats should treat it accordingly and go in with realistic expectations, not as a vetted English-friendly practice.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
