Koganei Shika
Koganei Shika is a dental clinic sitting on the 4th floor of the Mega Don Quijote in Koganei City — yes, that Don Quijote, the discount chain. It’s a slightly unexpected location but actually pretty convenient if you’re running errands in the area. They handle the standard dental range: cleanings, fillings, extractions, and general checkups.
For English speakers, you’re in reasonable shape here. Staff have conversational English, so basic communication about what’s hurting and what needs doing shouldn’t be a wall. It won’t be a fully bilingual experience, but you’re not going to be stuck miming toothache either. Their website is Japanese-only, so booking might take a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend if you’re not confident.
Located in Koganei, this is a solid neighborhood option for expats living in the western Tokyo suburbs — not a clinic you’d cross the city for, but genuinely useful if you’re local.
Patient Feedback
Patients generally describe straightforward, no-fuss appointments. The clinic isn’t flashy — it’s a working dental office in a shopping complex — but care is described as thorough and unhurried. Wait times are typically reasonable for a neighborhood clinic. The Don Quijote location throws first-timers off, but once you find the elevator it’s easy enough. Nothing exceptional, nothing problematic. Exactly what most people want from a dentist.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
