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 — cleanings, fillings, crowns, extractions — without any obvious specialty focus beyond solid everyday dentistry.
The website exists, but it’s aging and almost entirely in Japanese. There’s a hint of English content online, but don’t count on walking in and being understood fluently. Reception likely has limited English at best. If your Japanese is nonexistent, bring a translation app, write down your symptoms beforehand, or use Google Translate’s camera mode on any forms they hand you.
This isn’t a clinic that’s built its practice around expat patients. It’s a neighborhood dentist in a neighborhood that happens to have some international foot traffic because of the university. If you live nearby and need reliable, no-fuss dental work, it’s worth a call. If you need detailed English explanations of a complex treatment plan, manage expectations accordingly.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback on HORIE Dentistry is sparse in English-language forums, which itself tells you something about the typical patient base. Those who do mention it describe a straightforward, no-frills experience — appointments run on time, the dentist is thorough without being rushed, and the clinic is clean and well-maintained. It’s a functional neighborhood practice, not a flashy modern setup. Expect a quiet waiting room and efficient treatment rather than a high-tech patient experience.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
