Motohashi Shikaiin - Motohashi Kyousei Shika
Motohashi Shikaiin sits in Kichijoji, one of Tokyo’s most foreigner-friendly neighborhoods, which bodes reasonably well for expats who need dental work without a Japanese-speaking friend in tow. The clinic covers general dentistry plus orthodontics under the Motohashi Kyousei Shika banner — so cleanings, fillings, and braces are all on the table in one place.
Their website has some English content, which suggests they’ve thought about international patients at least a little. That said, full English-language service at the chair isn’t confirmed. Kichijoji is walkable and easy to navigate, and the clinic is close enough to the main shopping and station area that getting there isn’t a hassle. If your Japanese is zero, bring a translation app as backup. Not a red flag — just reality for most local dental clinics in Japan.
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 local Tokyo clinic. The dual setup covering both general dentistry and orthodontics means you’re not bouncing between offices for different treatments. Atmosphere feels calm and professional without being cold. Nothing flashy, but that’s not what you want from a dentist anyway.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
