Moriya Shika iin
Moriya Shika Iin is a neighborhood dental clinic in Tachikawa, a major hub city in western Tokyo that’s easy to reach from central Tokyo via the Chuo Line. They handle standard dental work — cleanings, fillings, extractions, orthodontics — the kind of bread-and-butter care most people need at some point.
Their website has some English content, which suggests they’ve thought about non-Japanese patients at least a little. But “some English on the website” doesn’t automatically mean smooth English communication at the front desk. Expect Japanese to be the working language of your appointment. A translation app on your phone is a smart move, especially for anything beyond a basic cleaning.
Tachikawa is a practical base for expats in western Tokyo and Tama area, so having a local dentist option matters. This clinic is in Shibasaki-cho, a short distance from Tachikawa Station. If your Japanese is minimal, come prepared — write down your symptoms beforehand, bring your insurance card, and don’t assume forms will be in English.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a straightforward, no-frills neighborhood dental practice. The kind of place where appointments run on time and the dentist gets to the point. Not a boutique experience — more like a competent local clinic that handles routine care efficiently. Patients seem to appreciate the accessibility of the Tachikawa location. Nothing flashy, but for regular dental maintenance, that’s often exactly what you want.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
