Tachikawa Station (JR Chuo Line) — 5 min walk
  • Tachikawa Station area
  • Near central Tokyo
  • Tennoubashi Shika is a dental clinic in Tachikawa, Tokyo, sitting in a first-floor unit in the Ichibanchō neighborhood. It’s a general dentistry practice covering the usual range — cleanings, fillings, extractions, and likely cosmetic work. The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but whether that translates to an English-speaking staff member actually being present when you show up is a different story. Tachikawa is a major hub in western Tokyo, well-connected and easy to reach, so at least the logistics aren’t painful. If you’re living or working out in the Tama area and need a dentist without trekking into central Tokyo, this is worth a look. Just don’t assume the website English means a fluent conversation at the front desk. Come prepared with a translation app and written notes about your issue.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback points to a straightforward, no-fuss clinic. Appointments tend to run on schedule, which matters when you’ve carved time out of a workday. The dentist is described as thorough without being alarmist — they explain what they’re doing and why. The setting is small and quiet rather than a big busy chain clinic. Not a flashy operation, but the kind of place where you feel like your teeth are actually being looked at properly.

    English Language Proficiency

    The website includes some English, which suggests awareness of non-Japanese patients, but confirmed English-speaking staff on the floor is unclear. Reception may have basic English for scheduling, but detailed clinical conversations will likely require a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend. Write down your symptoms and dental history in Japanese before you go — Google Translate works fine for this. Don't expect a fully bilingual experience, but the clinic doesn't appear hostile to foreign patients either.
