  • Sekiya Dental Clinic sits in the Sagunomiya area of Nakano Ward, on the first floor of a low-rise residential building called Sakura Heights Toritsu-Kasei. It’s a neighborhood dental office — the kind where the same families have been coming for years. They handle the full range of general dentistry: cleanings, fillings, extractions, and likely some cosmetic work.

    Their website has some English content, which suggests at least some awareness of non-Japanese patients, but don’t walk in expecting a fully bilingual experience. Basic communication might get you through a routine cleaning, but for anything complicated — root canals, treatment plans, insurance questions — bring a Japanese-speaking friend or a solid translation app. The clinic is close to Toritsu-Kasei Station on the Seibu Shinjuku Line, which puts it a short ride from Nakano or Seibu-Shinjuku.

    This is a local, family-run dental practice. If you live in the Nakano or Saginomiya area and need a reliable neighborhood dentist, it’s worth a call. Just go in with realistic expectations about English support.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback on Sekiya is limited online in English, so there’s no strong pattern to report. Based on the clinic’s setup — small, neighborhood-based, family-oriented — you’d expect shorter wait times than a big urban clinic and a more personal feel. The dentist likely takes time with patients rather than rushing them through. Don’t expect a high-tech private clinic vibe; expect a quiet local office that gets the job done.

    English Language Proficiency

    The clinic has some English on their website, which is a good sign — it means they're at least thinking about non-Japanese patients. But that doesn't guarantee English-speaking staff at reception or during treatment. Realistically, you may be navigating in Japanese for anything beyond pointing at a tooth and saying "itai" (it hurts). Bring a translation app, write down your symptoms beforehand, or bring a Japanese-speaking friend if your issue is complex. Don't assume forms are in English.
