Otani Shika Hongosanchome Annex
Otani Shika Hongosanchome Annex is a dental clinic on the second floor of Hongo Motofuji Building in Bunkyo — a quiet, academic neighborhood most famous for Tokyo University. It’s a branch of the Otani Dental group, which has been operating in this area for a while, so there’s some institutional weight behind it. The clinic covers standard dentistry: checkups, cleanings, fillings, that kind of thing.
On English: their website has some English-facing content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fluent English conversation with everyone at the front desk. Real-world English capacity at the chair and reception level is unclear. Come prepared with a translation app, and if you have complex dental history, write it down beforehand. For routine work, most expats manage fine. Bunkyo is a well-connected ward — Hongo-sanchome Station (Marunouchi and Oedo lines) is basically on your doorstep.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback specifically on this annex location is thin, but the parent Otani Dental group has a generally solid local reputation in Bunkyo. Patients tend to describe straightforward, no-drama appointments — dentists who are thorough without being alarmist. Wait times appear reasonable for a neighborhood clinic. The second-floor setup is modest but functional. Nothing flashy, which in a dentist’s office is usually fine.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
