Asada Shika
Asada Shika is a neighborhood dental clinic in Meguro’s Takaban area — the kind of place locals have been going to for years rather than a flashy urban practice catering to expats. They handle standard dental work: cleanings, fillings, crowns, and general care. The clinic has some English content on their website, which is a decent sign, but don’t show up expecting fluent English-speaking staff across the board. You may get lucky, or you may end up using Google Translate to fill gaps. That’s just the honest reality. If your dental needs are routine and you’re comfortable with a bit of communication friction, this is a solid, accessible option in a residential part of Meguro that isn’t overrun with international clinics. Book ahead — small neighborhood practices in Tokyo often have tight schedules.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a calm, unhurried clinic where the dentist takes time to explain what’s happening — even if that explanation sometimes needs a translation app to land properly. Wait times appear reasonable for a neighborhood practice. The atmosphere is low-key, not clinical and sterile in an off-putting way. Patients seem to leave feeling their teeth were actually looked at, not rushed through. No reports of overselling unnecessary treatments, which matters.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
