Morinoizumi Shika
Morinoizumi Shika sits on the third floor of the Kikuya Building in Fuda, Chofu — not the most central Tokyo location, but easy enough if you’re living in the western suburbs and tired of schlepping into Shinjuku for dental work. It’s a general dentistry practice covering the usual range: cleanings, fillings, crowns, implants, orthodontics.
The website has some English-language content, which is a decent sign — at minimum someone there thought about non-Japanese patients. But “English content online” doesn’t automatically mean fluent English at the front desk or during consultations. Realistically, expect basic communication to be possible, but bring a translation app for anything complicated. If you have a specific treatment plan to discuss, writing your questions down in Japanese beforehand will save everyone time and stress.
For expats based in Chofu or nearby Fuchu, Setagaya, or Komae, this is a practical local option worth knowing about.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a thorough, unhurried approach — the kind of dentist who actually explains what they’re doing rather than just drilling and billing. Wait times appear reasonable for a neighborhood clinic. The third-floor location means no walk-in foot traffic, so appointments tend to run on schedule. Overall vibe is calm and professional rather than conveyor-belt busy. No strong signals either way on handling foreign patients specifically.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
