Murata Shikaiin

Murata Shikaiin is a general dental clinic in Tachikawa, a major hub city in western Tokyo about 40 minutes from Shinjuku on the Chuo Line. The clinic handles standard dental work — cleanings, fillings, extractions, and likely some cosmetic and restorative procedures. Their website has some English content, which suggests at least an awareness that foreign patients exist, but whether that translates to a smooth English consultation is genuinely unclear. Don’t expect a bilingual staff member waiting at the front desk. Come prepared with a translation app, your insurance card, and a note explaining your symptoms in Japanese if you can manage it. That said, Tachikawa has a decent expat population and clinics in the area tend to be more accustomed to non-Japanese patients than you’d find in a rural setting. A solid option if you live or work on the Chuo Line and need reliable dental care without trekking into central Tokyo.
