Shiihara shikaiin

Shiihara Dental Clinic sits in the residential backstreets of Daizawa, Setagaya — the kind of quiet neighborhood where locals stick with the same dentist for years. This is a small, traditional Japanese dental practice run by Dr. Shiihara, focused on general and restorative dentistry: cleanings, fillings, extractions, the everyday stuff. The clinic website has some English content, which suggests they’ve thought about non-Japanese patients, but don’t walk in expecting fluent English conversation at the front desk. A translation app will probably come in handy. That said, Setagaya has enough long-term expat residents that local clinics here tend to be more patient with non-Japanese speakers than you’d find in less international areas. Appointments are recommended. If your Japanese is basic or nonexistent, send an email before showing up — their site gives you a way to make contact. Solid neighborhood dentist. Not a flashy international clinic. Manage expectations accordingly.
