For Nagoya's international community
Many of our patients are long-term residents in Nagoya — Toyota, Denso, Aisin, and Brother families, international school parents and teachers, researchers at Nagoya University, and international professionals who want the standard of dental communication they had at home. We take time to listen, explain your options clearly, and build a care plan that works with your life in Japan.
Why us
Opened January 2026
A brand-new clinic built from scratch for precision dentistry.
Every room, every piece of equipment, and every workflow was designed from the ground up — not inherited from a previous tenant. The result is a space where digital diagnostics, in-house fabrication, and patient comfort work together seamlessly.

Our care philosophy
Japanese public health insurance covers essential basic dental care for residents of Japan — and we accept it. But most of our international patients ultimately choose self-pay (not covered by insurance) treatment. Here is why.
Japanese health insurance is accepted. Check-ups, cavities, cleanings, and basic care can be covered. We explain which items are covered and which are self-pay — in English, before treatment begins.
Porcelain crowns, implants, Invisalign, veneers, and aesthetic ceramics are not covered under Japan's public insurance regardless of nationality. Japanese patients who want these materials also pay self-pay. This is how Japan's insurance system is structured, not a clinic policy.
Self-pay treatment lets us spend the time each case needs — unhurried diagnosis, thorough English explanations, written records, and a plan you fully understand before anything begins. Insurance billing doesn't account for this level of care and communication.

Your dentist
“The real value of dental work shows itself ten, twenty years later. I built Eden so we could practice that way — carefully, without shortcuts, and explained in a language you understand.”
Dr. Murai grew up watching his father practice dentistry. At home he was strict and quiet; in the operatory he was patient and gentle. Watching those two sides of the same man, Ryosuke came to see dentistry less as a procedure and more as a long, human relationship.
Early in his career, one patient’s case shook him. He wanted to help, but felt the limits of what he had been taught. Different mentors offered different opinions, with little agreement on what actually lasts. The turning point was a lecture by a U.S.-trained Japanese prosthodontist who spoke about treatment through the lens of evidence, biomechanics, and long-term outcome data — not opinion. Ryosuke decided to learn that way of thinking at the source.
He spent three years at Indiana University School of Dentistry, earning his MSD in Prosthodontics — specialising in implants, crowns, full-mouth restoration, and the kind of complex cases that require careful planning. He returned home convinced that dental care should be designed for ten and twenty years out, not just for the next appointment.
For international residents in Nagoya, this matters in a very practical way. Many patients arrive at Eden after years of feeling rushed, half-understood, or unsure what was actually done in their last appointment. At Eden, first consultations often run 60 to 120 minutes in a private counselling room — in English, with intraoral photos and diagnostic data on screen, every option explained before anything begins.
“If something has been worrying you for a long time, you don’t need to carry it alone,” he says. “Come in and let’s look at it together — even if all you want, for now, is to understand where things stand.”
