Gotanda Station (Yamanote Line) — 3 min walk
  • Near Gotanda Station
  • Near central Tokyo
  • Horiuchi Shikaiin sits on the second floor of the AM Building in Higashi-Gotanda, a short walk from Gotanda Station in Shinagawa. It’s a general dental clinic run under the Yuseikai medical corporation, handling the usual range of dental work — cleanings, fillings, crowns, and general oral care.

    The clinic has some English content on its website, which suggests at least some awareness of international patients. That said, full English service isn’t confirmed. You might get by with a staff member who handles basic dental vocabulary in English, but don’t count on a fully bilingual consultation. A translation app or written notes in Japanese covering your symptoms and dental history would be smart to bring along.

    It’s a neighborhood dental clinic — not a flashy international medical center. If you’re based in Shinagawa or commuting through Gotanda, it’s a convenient option for routine dental care. Just go in with realistic expectations about English communication and you’ll probably be fine.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback points to a competent, no-frills neighborhood dental practice. Appointments tend to run on time. The dentist is described as thorough and straightforward — explains what’s happening without overdoing it. The clinic is small and quiet, so you won’t be sitting in a crowded waiting room for an hour. Nothing fancy, but patients generally leave feeling like the job got done properly.

    English Language Proficiency

    The website has some English-language content, which is a good sign, but it doesn't mean the front desk is fluent. Realistically, reception likely speaks limited English — enough for scheduling basics, maybe not enough for detailed symptom discussions. Bring a translation app. Writing down your dental issue in Japanese beforehand will save everyone time. Don't expect English consent forms or intake paperwork. Manageable for confident expats, trickier if this is your first Japanese clinic experience.
