ASANO DENTAL CLINIC
Asano Dental Clinic sits in Ryogoku — yes, the sumo district — on the ground floor of Asia Building along Kokugikan-dori. It’s a neighborhood dental practice, not a fancy expat clinic, so don’t expect English-language signage everywhere. That said, they do have conversational English capability, which means you can communicate the basics — pain location, what’s bothering you, what treatment you’re agreeing to — without resorting entirely to pointing and hoping. They handle general dentistry: cleanings, fillings, extractions, the everyday stuff. If you’re living in Sumida ward and need a reliable local dentist who won’t leave you completely lost in translation, this is a solid practical option. Ryogoku Station (JR Sobu Line, Toei Oedo Line) is close, making it accessible from both central Tokyo and the eastern wards. Not flashy. Not bilingual front-to-back. But functional, local, and honest about what they offer.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a no-frills, efficient practice. Appointments tend to run on schedule — this isn’t a place where you wait an hour past your booking. The dentist is described as thorough and straightforward, explaining what they’re doing without overdoing it. The setting is small and local, which some patients find reassuring and others find a bit sparse. Generally well-regarded for routine work.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
