Horiuchi Shikaiin
Horiuchi Shikaiin is a dental clinic on the second floor of the AM Building in Higashi-Gotanda, Shinagawa — close enough to Gotanda Station that you won’t be hunting for it long. Run under the medical corporation Yuseikai, it’s a general dentistry practice covering the usual range: cleanings, fillings, crowns, and routine checkups.
The website has some English-facing content, which suggests they’ve thought about international patients at least a little. That said, full English service at the reception desk and during consultations isn’t confirmed. You may get by fine with basic Japanese phrases and a translation app, but walking in expecting fluent English from every staff member could lead to frustration. Best to call or email ahead and gauge the response before booking anything complicated.
It’s a practical neighborhood clinic — not a flashy international health center, but solid for expats living or working in the Shinagawa area who need dental care without trekking across the city.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a no-fuss, efficient clinic. Wait times seem reasonable for a neighborhood practice. The dentists are described as thorough and straightforward — they explain what they’re doing and don’t push unnecessary treatments. It’s not a large facility, so the atmosphere is quiet and fairly low-stress. Patients generally feel they’re getting competent, honest care rather than an upsell experience.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
