Kunitachi Station (JR Chuo Line) — 5 min walk
  • Oral surgery on-site
  • Near central Tokyo
  • Kishino Shika is a dental and oral surgery clinic in Kunitachi, a quiet residential city in western Tokyo along the Chuo Line. The “口腔外科” in the name matters — this isn’t just routine cleanings. They handle oral surgery cases that most standard dental clinics would refer out, which is useful if you’re dealing with something beyond a filling.

    Their website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fluent English conversation at the front desk. The reality is probably a mix of basic English, Google Translate, and goodwill. Come prepared with your symptoms written down or pulled up in Japanese on your phone.

    Kunitachi itself is a calm, walkable area — not intimidating to navigate. The clinic is in the east side of the city, reasonably close to Kunitachi Station on the JR Chuo Line. If you’re in the Tama area or commuting from central Tokyo and need oral surgery-level dental care, this is worth knowing about.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback points to a thorough, unhurried approach — the kind of dentist who actually explains what they’re doing rather than just drilling and billing. The oral surgery capability seems to be the real draw; people come here for extractions and more complex work that other clinics won’t touch. Wait times appear reasonable. The clinic has a calm, professional feel rather than a conveyor-belt vibe.

    English Language Proficiency

    The website has some English-facing content, which suggests awareness of non-Japanese patients — but that doesn't guarantee fluent English at the front desk or during your appointment. Expect basic communication at best. Forms are almost certainly in Japanese only. Your best move: write your symptoms and dental history in Japanese beforehand using DeepL, and screenshot it. A translation app on your phone is essential. Don't assume, prepare.
