Kaede Shika
Kaede Shika is a general dentistry clinic on the second floor of Toso Building No. 3 in Honan, Suginami — a residential part of west Tokyo that most expats don’t end up in unless they live nearby. That’s basically the target patient here: locals and expats settled in the Suginami area looking for a neighborhood dentist rather than a clinic that markets itself to foreigners.
The website has some English content, which suggests at least some awareness of non-Japanese patients, but don’t walk in expecting a fully bilingual experience. Google Translate on your phone is a smart backup. Standard dental services — cleanings, fillings, checkups — are the core offering. Nothing flashy, just functional dentistry in a quiet part of the city.
If you live in Suginami and want to avoid a long commute for a routine appointment, this is a reasonable option. If you’re coming from across Tokyo specifically for English support, there are better-equipped clinics elsewhere.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a calm, unhurried clinic — the kind of neighborhood dentist where you’re not rushed through. The dentist is described as thorough during exams and good at explaining procedures. Wait times appear reasonable for a local clinic. It’s not a high-volume operation, which works in your favor if you value attention over speed. No strong reports of English fluency from staff, but the general vibe is patient and accommodating.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
