Gakuen Station (Odakyu Odawara Line) — 1 min walk
  • Station-front Odakyu Line location
  • Near central Tokyo
  • Arai Shika Clinic sits right in front of Tamagawagakuenmae Station on the Odakyu Line, tucked into a building that’s hard to miss if you’re coming off the platform. It’s a general dental practice covering the usual range — cleanings, fillings, orthodontics, implants. The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but whether that translates to a smooth English-speaking experience at the front desk or in the chair is genuinely unclear. Tamagawagakuenmae is a quieter residential area in Machida, so this is realistically a neighborhood clinic for people living nearby rather than a destination practice from central Tokyo. If you’re in the area and need dental work, it’s worth a call or email to test their English responsiveness before booking.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback points to a thorough, unhurried approach — the kind of dentist who explains what they’re doing rather than just drilling and sending you out. Wait times seem reasonable for a neighborhood practice. The station-front location makes it easy to get to. No strong pattern of English-fluent staff in reviews, so don’t expect a seamless English consultation without some preparation.

    English Language Proficiency

    The clinic has English content on its website, which suggests some awareness of foreign patients — but that's not the same as English-fluent staff on the floor. Reception may have basic English, but complex treatment discussions will likely hit a wall. Bring a translation app, have your symptoms written out in Japanese if possible, and send an email in English first to gauge their response. Don't assume a smooth ride.
