Nagasawa Shika
Nagasawa Shika is a dental clinic sitting on the fourth floor of the Nakajima Building No. 2 in Tachikawa, one of western Tokyo’s main commercial hubs. It’s a standard private dental practice covering the usual bases — checkups, cleanings, fillings, and general oral care.
The website has some English-language content, which is a decent sign, but don’t book expecting a fully bilingual experience. It suggests some awareness of non-Japanese patients, but whether that translates to English-speaking staff at reception or chairside is genuinely unclear. Bring your Japanese dental vocabulary or a translation app as backup.
Tachikawa is well-connected — it’s on the JR Chuo Line, so getting here from central Tokyo is straightforward. Fourth-floor clinic in a mid-rise office building means you’re taking an elevator, not walking into a street-level storefront. Standard neighborhood dental setup.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback on this clinic is limited in English-language sources, so it’s hard to paint a detailed picture. What the setup suggests: a small private practice rather than a large chain, which typically means more consistent one-on-one time with the dentist rather than being shuffled between staff. Wait times and appointment availability aren’t well-documented publicly. If you go, it’s worth calling ahead to gauge the English situation before you show up.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
