itohiya dental clinic

Itohiya Dental Clinic sits in Minami-Oi, Shinagawa — a residential pocket of south Tokyo that’s not particularly expat-heavy, which means this isn’t a clinic built around foreign patients. It’s a general dental practice doing the full range: checkups, cleanings, cavities, and likely some cosmetic work. The website has some English-facing content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fluent English conversation with reception. You might, you might not. If your Japanese is zero, come prepared with a translation app and write down your symptoms beforehand. For straightforward dental work — a cleaning, a filling, something that doesn’t require a lot of back-and-forth — the language gap is usually manageable. For anything complex or pain-related where communication really matters, test the waters with an email first. Nearest major hub is Ōmori Station on the Keihin-Tohoku Line.
