Shika kyouseishika hayashi shikashitsu
Hayashi Dental Clinic sits on the second floor of the Hayashi Building in Kitazawa, Setagaya — which puts it right in the heart of Shimokitazawa, one of Tokyo’s most livable and foreigner-friendly neighborhoods. They cover both general dentistry and orthodontics under one roof, which is convenient if you’re dealing with routine work now but considering braces or aligners down the road.
The website has some English content, which suggests they’ve thought about international patients at least a little. That said, “some English on the website” and “fluent English at the front desk” are very different things. Walk-in communication might require a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend depending on who’s working that day. Best to email or call ahead and gauge the response — that’ll tell you a lot about what to expect in person.
For Setagaya residents or anyone near Shimokitazawa Station, this is a solid local option worth checking out, especially if you need ortho work alongside regular dental care.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a thorough, unhurried approach — the kind of place where the dentist actually explains what they’re doing rather than just drilling and billing. The Shimokitazawa location makes it accessible and low-stress to get to. Orthodontic patients seem to appreciate having both alignment and general care handled in one place. No strong signals of long waits, but appointment-based so plan accordingly.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
