ITO SHIKAIIN
Ito Shikaiin is a neighborhood dental clinic in Hiratsuka, Edogawa — the kind of place locals have been going to for years rather than a polished expat-facing practice. It covers standard dental work: checkups, cleanings, fillings, and general care. The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fluent English-speaking dentist waiting for you. Reality is probably somewhere in the middle — a translation app will help, and pointing at X-rays gets you further than you’d think. If you’re in Edogawa and need reliable dental care without trekking to central Tokyo, this is worth a call. Just go in with realistic expectations about language, not a worst-case scenario.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a no-fuss neighborhood practice. Appointments tend to run on time, which matters when you’re already nervous about navigating a clinic in a second language. The dentist is described as thorough and not rushed. It’s not flashy, but the equipment looks current and the space is clean. Expect a calm, quiet atmosphere — this isn’t a busy urban chain clinic. Regulars seem to stick around, which usually says something.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
