Kawai Dental Clinic

Kawai Dental Clinic sits in the Okusawa neighborhood of Setagaya — a quiet, residential corner of southwest Tokyo that most tourists never see but plenty of expats call home. The clinic operates out of the ground floor of the Perche Okusawa building on a calm local street, which gives it more neighborhood dental office energy than big-city clinic.

Their website has some English-language content, which suggests they’ve at least thought about international patients. But “some English online” doesn’t always translate to smooth chairside communication. If you’re dealing with something routine — a cleaning, a filling, a checkup — you’ll probably manage fine with patience and a translation app. For anything complex involving treatment plans or medical history, bring backup: a Japanese-speaking friend or a solid translation tool.

The clinic covers standard dental services. Setagaya is well-served by local trains, and Okusawa Station on the Tokyu Oimachi Line is nearby. This is a neighborhood practice, not a specialist expat clinic — set expectations accordingly and you’ll likely be fine.
