Kouenji Oyanagi Shika

Kouenji Oyanagi Shika is a neighborhood dental clinic sitting on the ground floor of a mixed-use building in Kouenji South — a walkable, low-key part of Suginami that most expats discover after moving west of Shinjuku. It’s a general dentistry practice covering the usual range: cleanings, fillings, crowns, extractions, and likely orthodontic consultations.

The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a good sign — it suggests they’re at least aware that non-Japanese patients exist. But “some English online” doesn’t automatically mean smooth English communication at the front desk or in the chair. Kouenji has a growing international community, so staff may have basic English, but don’t expect fluent clinical conversations. A translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend for your first visit would be smart backup. That said, dental work is relatively easy to navigate without perfect language overlap — pointing at an X-ray gets you pretty far.

If you live in Kouenji or nearby Asagaya, this is a convenient local option worth trying for routine care.
