IHARA DENTAL CLINIC

Ihara Dental Clinic sits on the first floor of T Garden Square in Funabori, Edogawa — not the most expat-dense part of Tokyo, but a real neighborhood dental clinic doing solid everyday dentistry. We’re talking cleanings, fillings, crowns, the usual. The website has some English-language content, which suggests they’ve thought about non-Japanese patients at least a little. That said, “some English on the website” doesn’t always mean smooth English conversation at the front desk. If your Japanese is nonexistent, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend for anything beyond pointing at your tooth and grimacing. It’s a small, local practice — not a foreigner-specialist clinic — so expectations should match that. For expats living in Edogawa or nearby areas like Kōtō or Ichikawa, this is a convenient option that won’t require a long commute into central Tokyo just for a checkup.
