kawano Shika

Kawano Shika is a neighborhood dental clinic tucked into the residential streets of Matsubara, Setagaya — the kind of area where locals stay loyal to the same dentist for years. It covers standard dental work: cleanings, fillings, extractions, and likely some cosmetic and restorative procedures. The clinic runs a website under the “izumi-dental” domain, which shows some English content, but don’t book expecting a fully bilingual experience. Reception probably speaks limited English at best. If your Japanese is minimal, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend for anything beyond pointing at a tooth and grimacing. That said, Setagaya has a decent expat community, and clinics in this area tend to be used to the occasional non-Japanese patient. It’s a local clinic doing local dentistry — no frills, no international clinic pricing either.
