Awajicho Station (Marunouchi Line) — 2 min walk
  • Conversational English confirmed
  • Near central Tokyo
  • KOTANI Shika sits on the first floor of Uchikanda Building in Chiyoda — one of Tokyo’s most central, business-heavy wards. Getting here is straightforward: Kanda Station is close, and the area is easy to navigate even if you’re new to Tokyo.

    This is a general dentistry practice run under the Eiseikai medical corporation. Cleanings, fillings, crowns, the usual — nothing exotic, but solid everyday dental care. The clinic has conversational English capability, meaning staff can handle basic communication without you needing to perform charades. Don’t expect a fully bilingual front desk, but you won’t be completely stranded either. A translation app as backup never hurts.

    Good fit for expats working in central Tokyo who need a dentist they can actually communicate with and reach on a lunch break. Not a specialist clinic, but for routine dental needs in a convenient location, it does the job.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback points to a no-fuss, efficient practice. Appointments tend to run on time — this is a business district clinic, so they’re used to patients on tight schedules. Dentists are described as thorough rather than rushed. The vibe is professional and calm, not overly clinical or cold. Some patients mention staff are genuinely trying with English even when it’s imperfect, which goes a long way.

    English Language Proficiency

    Conversational English is available — enough to explain your symptoms, understand basic treatment options, and get through a standard appointment without total confusion. Reception can handle simple English questions. Don't expect English intake forms or a fully bilingual consultation experience. Complex treatment discussions might need a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend to fill gaps. That said, for routine dental visits, most English speakers report getting through just fine.
