Hiroki Shika
Hiroki Shika is a small dental clinic tucked into a residential pocket of Shimo-Ochiai in Shinjuku — not the busy commercial side of the ward, so expect a quieter, neighborhood feel rather than a slick city-center operation. They handle standard dental work: cleanings, fillings, crowns, and general oral care.
The website has some English content, which suggests awareness of international patients, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fully English-speaking experience. Reception may have limited English, and the consultation will likely be in Japanese. Come prepared with a translation app, a written note explaining your symptoms, or a Japanese-speaking friend if your Japanese is zero. That said, clinics with even partial English web presence tend to be more foreigner-friendly than average — they’re not starting from scratch.
Shimo-Ochiai Station (Seibu Shinjuku Line) is the closest access point. It’s a short ride from Shinjuku Station, so location isn’t a dealbreaker if you’re coming from central Tokyo.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a calm, unhurried atmosphere — typical of smaller neighborhood clinics where you’re not being pushed through a conveyor belt of appointments. Dentists here tend to take time explaining procedures, though that explanation will mostly be in Japanese. Wait times appear reasonable. The clinic size means you’re likely seeing the same dentist each visit, which a lot of patients genuinely appreciate over the anonymity of bigger facilities.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
