Apuru Shiika

Apuru Shiika sits on the second floor of the Aclesti Minamisenju building in Arakawa — a residential corner of northeast Tokyo that most expats only pass through on the Joban or Hibiya line. It’s a general dental clinic handling the standard lineup: cleanings, fillings, crowns, extractions, and orthodontics. The website has some English-facing content, which suggests they’ve thought about international patients at least a little, but whether that translates to smooth chairside communication is genuinely unclear. Don’t assume you’ll get a fluent English-speaking dentist waiting for you. Bring a translation app, have your dental history written out in Japanese if possible, and you’ll probably be fine. The clinic is part of a medical corporation (More Frost), which usually means organized systems and consistent protocols. For expats living in Arakawa or Minamisenju specifically, this is a convenient local option worth trying. If you’re traveling in from central Tokyo just for English service, there are better-confirmed options elsewhere.
