Friendly family dental practice

Can anyone help me to locate an English speaking dental practice? (preferably one that takes National Health Insurance). I desperately need to get dental appointments for my family. Thanks very much

    You're in Fuchu in Tokyo, right? This link has some options in downtown Tokyo. https://bestlivingjapan.com/tokyo-english-speaking-dentists/ I can't speak for any of them personally but there is information about which do and don't accept JNHI. When I lived in Tokyo I was covered by international insurance at the time (now I'm in Niigata on JNHI though!) and went here http://www.tcdo.jp/StaffDentists/ which was very good, but pricey...and they don't take JNHI. Hopefully the other link has some options that might be good English speaking choices and there are several that accept Japanese insurance. Good luck!

    I'm not sure where you live, but my go-to dental clinic is Bluff Clinic in Yokohama. They are super family-oriented and everyone speaks English fluently. You can make reservations online and they accept NHI. However, you need to make a reservation a bit in advance because the spots tend to fill up quickly. Let me know if you have any more questions about them. :)

    @hellonihon, thank you for that info. I’m in Fuchu. Will have to check to see how far away Yokohama is from me. Awesome that it’s fully English speaking.

    http://japanhealthinfo.com This is a great place to contact if you want to find English speaking medical services. It only cost money if you have them make the appointment.

What sakura apps / websites are you using in 2024?

What websites or Apps are you using to keep track of the bloom stages of cherry blossoms in 2024? I usually use a mix of Tenki.jp, Yahoo and Jorudan and another one that I have forgotten! (I delete them at the end of each season to free up space on my phone). I occasionally use the app from JMA, but I don't like its set up. Are there any other Apps or websites you recommend? TIA

What's in your toshikoshi soba?

What do you put in your toshikoshi soba? One year I sauteed some chicken and naganegi to start a broth augmented with tsuyu, cooked the soba separately, and served the broth with kamaboko slices.

Transferring Pension

I'm currently sorting through EVERYTHING I bought back from Japan with me, so you'll get all your new blogs soon. I came across some documents that I actually completed when I came back from Japan, which was to do with pensions. This took me a while to figure out because it was complicated. Would you like to know how to transfer your pension to you from Japan? People say you can't. The things is... you can.

My FIRST Log! Would You Like to Hear it?

In my last post I asked what you would like to hear from me now I have left. I was digging through some stuff the other day and I found my very FIRST book log that I kept when I toured Japan originally. I was thinking about typing it up and reminding myself of what my younger self thought of Japan. Would you like to hear about what I got up to? I'm not sure if I can even remember! HA!!
