HORIE Dentistry
HORIE Dentistry sits on the second floor of the Yuasa Building in Hongo, one of Tokyo’s quieter academic neighborhoods anchored by Tokyo University. It’s a general dental clinic handling the usual range of work — checkups, cleanings, fillings, crowns. Their website has some English-language content, which suggests at least some awareness of international patients, but don’t take that as a guarantee of fluent English service at the front desk. This is a neighborhood clinic, not an expat-focused practice. If your Japanese is minimal, bring a translation app and write down your symptoms beforehand. That said, Bunkyo is full of researchers, professors, and students with international connections, so the staff here likely has more experience with foreign patients than your average suburban dental office. Expect a calm, no-frills environment rather than a polished private clinic experience.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback isn’t widely available in English, so take this with that caveat. The clinic appears to run as a standard neighborhood dental practice — appointment-based, relatively calm, without the long waits common at bigger hospital dental departments. Patients in the Hongo area tend to describe Bunkyo dental clinics generally as thorough and unhurried. Expect a dentist who takes time on examinations rather than rushing you out.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
