Tachikawa Waizu Shika
Tachikawa Waizu Shika is a dental and orthodontics clinic on the second floor of the Watanabe Building in Shibasaki-cho, Tachikawa — about a 10-minute walk from Tachikawa Station. They cover general dentistry alongside orthodontics, which is the main draw here if you’re looking at braces or alignment work in the western Tokyo area.
The website has some English content, which suggests they’ve thought about international patients at least a little. That said, full English consultation isn’t confirmed. Reception may have limited English, so if your Japanese is minimal, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend for anything beyond pointing at a tooth. For routine work, you’ll probably manage. For detailed orthodontic consultations involving treatment plans and costs, you’ll want some language backup.
Tachikawa itself is a solid hub in western Tokyo — easy to reach on the JR Chuo Line. If you’re living out that way and need a dentist who isn’t completely foreign-unfriendly, this is worth a look.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a thorough approach, particularly for orthodontic consultations — doctors take time to explain treatment options rather than rushing. Wait times are generally reasonable for a suburban clinic. The atmosphere is described as calm and clean, not the chaotic vibe of busier central Tokyo practices. A few patients note the staff are patient even when communication gets awkward, which counts for a lot.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
