Aqua Shikaiin

Aqua Shikaiin is a small dental clinic sitting right at Minowabashi Station in Arakawa — the last stop on the Toden Arakasawa Line, Tokyo’s only remaining tram line. That’s a useful landmark if you’re navigating here for the first time. It’s a general dentistry practice covering the usual range: cleanings, fillings, extractions, and likely cosmetic work too.

The English situation is genuinely unclear. Their website has some English-language content, which suggests awareness of international patients, but whether that translates to English-speaking staff at reception or during consultations is unknown. If you go, bring a translation app and have your dental history written out in Japanese if you can manage it. Don’t assume someone will be ready to communicate in English just because the website looks bilingual-ish.

Arakawa isn’t a neighborhood packed with expats, so this clinic probably sees mostly local Japanese patients. That’s not a dealbreaker — it just means you should set expectations accordingly and do a little prep before your appointment.
