Uchiyama Shika Clinic
Uchiyama Shika Clinic is a dental clinic in Tachikawa, a busy suburban hub in western Tokyo about 40 minutes from Shinjuku on the Chuo Line. It’s a neighborhood practice — not a foreigner-focused clinic, not an international medical center. The website has some English-language content, which suggests they’ve thought about non-Japanese patients, but whether that translates to a fully English-capable reception desk or English-speaking dentists is genuinely unclear. Don’t expect a bilingual consultation. Do expect a functional local dental clinic that can handle routine work, cleanings, and common dental issues. If your Japanese is limited, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend for anything beyond basic pointing-at-teeth communication. The Wakabachō address puts it in a residential part of Tachikawa — not right outside the station, so check the map before you go.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a straightforward, no-frills dental practice. Appointments tend to run on schedule. The dentist is described as thorough and methodical — the type who explains what they’re doing step by step, which helps even if you don’t catch every word. The clinic is small, so the atmosphere is calm rather than chaotic. Nothing flashy, but patients generally leave feeling like the work got done properly.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
