TSURUKAWA EKIMAE SHIKA
Tsurukawa Ekimae Shika sits on the second floor of Diamond Building, right in front of Tsurukawa Station on the Odakyu Line in Machida. It’s a general dental clinic covering the usual range: cleanings, fillings, crowns, implants, and orthodontics. Not a flashy international clinic, but a solid neighborhood dentist that happens to have enough English to get through an appointment without a translator in your pocket. Staff can handle basic conversational English, so checking in, describing tooth pain, and understanding treatment plans is manageable. They also have some English-language resources on hand. If your Japanese is zero, you won’t be completely lost here. It’s the kind of place where the location is genuinely convenient — walk out of the station and you’re basically there — and the focus is on getting dental work done efficiently. Good option if you’re living in the Machida or Tama area and don’t want to commute into central Tokyo just to get a cavity filled.
Patient Feedback
Patients tend to appreciate the no-fuss, get-it-done approach. The location is genuinely easy — you can see the building from the station. Wait times are generally reasonable for a neighborhood clinic. Dentists are described as thorough and straightforward rather than upselling-heavy. It’s not a luxury experience, but the work gets done properly and the communication doesn’t feel like a wall if you speak no Japanese.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
