matsushita shika

Matsushita Shika is a neighborhood dental clinic sitting in Komazawa, one of Setagaya’s quieter residential pockets — the kind of area where locals go for years and know the staff by name. It’s a general dentistry practice covering the usual bases: cleanings, fillings, crowns, and likely some cosmetic work. The website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t book expecting a fully bilingual front desk. Think of it more as “they’ve made an effort” than “they’ve got it handled.” If your Japanese is zero, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend for anything complicated beyond pointing at a tooth and saying “this one hurts.” For expats living in Setagaya — and there are plenty — it’s a convenient local option that doesn’t require trekking to the city center for routine dental care. Komazawa-Daigaku Station on the Den-en-toshi Line puts you right in the neighborhood.
