HORIE Dentistry
HORIE Dentistry sits on the second floor of the Yuasa Building in Hongo, Bunkyo — a quiet, residential-ish part of Tokyo that’s home to Tokyo University and a lot of long-term residents who actually know their dentist’s name. The clinic covers standard dentistry: cleanings, fillings, extractions, the usual. Their website has some English-language content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume that means a fluent English-speaking dentist or front desk staff will be waiting for you. The reality is probably somewhere in the middle — basic communication may be manageable, but complex treatment discussions could get tricky without a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend on standby. Good fit for expats in Bunkyo who need routine dental care and are comfortable with some communication friction.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback specific to this clinic is limited online in English. Based on its profile, it reads as a small, community-style practice — the kind where you’re likely seeing the same dentist each visit rather than rotating through a roster. Bunkyo locals tend to favor clinics like this for consistency. Expect a no-frills, functional experience rather than a polished multi-chair operation. Wait times at smaller practices like this are typically reasonable.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
