Nagasawa Shika
Nagasawa Shika is a small dental clinic sitting on the 4th floor of the Nakajima Building No. 2 in Tachikawa, one of western Tokyo’s main commercial hubs. It’s a straightforward general dentistry practice — cleanings, fillings, the usual — without the bells and whistles of a big urban clinic. The website has some English-language content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume that means you’ll walk in and have a smooth English conversation at the front desk. Reality is probably somewhere in the middle: written communication might work, spoken English is uncertain. Tachikawa is well-connected via JR Chuo Line, so getting there from central Tokyo isn’t painful. If you’re living or working in the Tama area, this is worth knowing about. If you’re coming from Shinjuku just for a dentist, probably not worth the trip unless you’ve already confirmed they can handle your communication needs.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback for this clinic is limited online, especially in English. What’s available suggests a small, no-frills practice where appointments run fairly smoothly and wait times are reasonable. The dentist appears thorough rather than rushed. It doesn’t have the polished, tourist-friendly feel of some central Tokyo dental chains — it’s more of a neighborhood clinic where the staff knows returning patients by name.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
