Ohsawa Shika Kurinikku
Ohsawa Shika Kurinikku is a neighborhood dental clinic sitting on the ground floor of the BRAVI building in Kami-Renjaku, Mitaka — that’s western Tokyo, about 10 minutes from Mitaka Station on the Chuo Line. It’s a standard Japanese private dental practice covering the usual bases: checkups, cleaning, fillings, extractions, and likely some cosmetic and orthodontic work.
The website has some English-language content, which suggests they’re at least aware that non-Japanese patients exist. That’s a low bar, but it’s something. Whether the staff can actually hold a dental conversation in English is unclear — don’t walk in expecting a bilingual consultation. A translation app or bringing a Japanese-speaking friend is a smart backup plan.
For expats living in Mitaka or the western Tokyo suburbs, this is a reasonable local option. It’s not a specialist international clinic, but it’s accessible, appears well-established, and the Mitaka area has enough foreign residents that the staff has probably seen a non-Japanese patient before.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a calm, unhurried clinic with a thorough approach to checkups — not the kind of place that rushes you out in 10 minutes. Wait times appear reasonable for a neighborhood practice. The doctor is described as methodical and willing to explain procedures. Atmosphere is quiet and clean, typical of a well-run suburban Tokyo dental office. Nothing flashy, but patients seem to leave feeling like their teeth were actually looked after.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
