Moriya Shika iin
Moriya Shika iin is a neighborhood dental clinic in Tachikawa, a busy transport hub in western Tokyo about 40 minutes from Shinjuku on the Chuo Line. The clinic handles standard dentistry — cleanings, fillings, crowns, the usual — and has been serving this residential area for years.
Their website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in to a fully bilingual setup. Reception likely handles basic English at best. If you have a complex situation to explain — pain history, medication allergies, what you’re anxious about — bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend. Google Translate camera mode on their forms will probably save you time.
That said, Tachikawa has a decent expat population, and clinics in this area are generally used to seeing non-Japanese faces. This isn’t a specialist clinic, but if you need a reliable local dentist in western Tokyo and don’t want to commute all the way into central Tokyo for a cleaning, this is a reasonable option worth calling.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a calm, no-frills neighborhood clinic. Wait times appear reasonable for a local practice. The dentist is described as thorough without being rushed — the kind of place that explains what they’re doing rather than just drilling ahead. Not a flashy setup, but patients seem to leave feeling like their teeth were actually looked at properly. Good fit for routine care.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
