Kouhei Dental Clinic
Kouhei Dental Clinic sits on the second floor of Sunrise Building in Higashi-Ogu, a quiet residential stretch of Arakawa that most expats never end up in unless they live nearby. That’s kind of the point — this is a neighborhood dentist, not a foreigner-facing clinic in Shinjuku or Hiroo.
The website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t walk in expecting a fully bilingual experience. Routine work — cleanings, fillings, checkups — should be manageable with basic Japanese, a translation app, or a Japanese-speaking friend. For anything complicated, you’ll want to call ahead or bring backup.
If you’re living in Arakawa or the surrounding area and just need reliable local dental care without trekking to central Tokyo, this is worth knowing about. Just go in with realistic expectations on the language front.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a straightforward, no-frills dental experience — the kind of local clinic where the dentist is thorough and appointments run on time. It’s not flashy, but it gets the job done. Patients seem to appreciate the calm, unhurried feel compared to busier central Tokyo clinics. Wait times appear reasonable for a neighborhood practice. Nothing particularly standout, but consistent and reliable seems to be the general read.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
