Imai Shika iin

Imai Shika iin sits in Akiruno, a quiet residential area in western Tokyo — far from the city center but accessible via the JR Itsukaichi Line. It operates under the medical corporation Bihakukai, which suggests a reasonably organized practice rather than a solo dentist running things out of a converted apartment.

The clinic’s website has some English-facing content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a smooth English conversation at the front desk. Western Tokyo clinics like this tend to serve local Japanese families, so English fluency on staff is genuinely uncertain. A translation app on your phone is smart prep.

Standard dental services are on offer — think routine checkups, cleanings, fillings, and likely some cosmetic work given the Bihakukai (beauty/white) branding. If you’re managing a dental emergency or complex treatment, confirm English support before booking. For expats living in the Akiruno or Hachioji area who need a local dentist and are willing to bridge the language gap, this is worth considering.
