Tachikawa Arrows Shika Clinic

Tachikawa Arrows Shika Clinic sits on the 7th floor of From Nakadake building in Tachikawa’s Akebono-cho neighborhood — a short walk from Tachikawa Station, which makes it genuinely easy to get to from anywhere along the Chuo Line. It’s a standard dental clinic covering the usual bases: cleanings, fillings, extractions, and general oral care.

For English speakers, the clinic has conversational English capability, meaning someone on staff can get through a basic appointment with you without requiring a Japanese-speaking friend in tow. Don’t expect a fully bilingual consultation, but you should be able to explain what hurts and understand what they’re planning to do about it. Some English materials are available too, which helps with paperwork stress.

It’s a practical, no-fuss option for expats living or working in the Tachikawa area who need dental care without the anxiety of navigating everything in Japanese. Not a specialist clinic — if you need implants or orthodontics, ask first — but for routine dental work, it does the job.
