Dr.cherry shikashitsu
Dr. Cherry Shikashitsu is a small dental clinic sitting on the second floor of a building in Nakano, one of Tokyo’s more livable, less touristy neighborhoods. It’s a general dentistry practice — cleanings, fillings, the usual — and the name is a little playful, which tracks with the approachable feel the clinic seems to go for.
Their website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume that means smooth English consultations. It likely means they’ve made an effort, not that you’ll have a fluent English-speaking dentist waiting for you. A translation app as backup is a smart call for anything beyond basic communication.
Nakano is easy to reach from central Tokyo — the JR Chuo Line and Tokyo Metro Tozai Line both stop at Nakano Station, so access isn’t a problem. If you’re living in the area and need a local dentist who’s at least made some gesture toward international patients, this is worth checking out. Just go in with realistic expectations on the language front.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a calm, unhurried clinic atmosphere — not the kind of place rushing you out the door. The dentist appears thorough, especially for routine work like cleanings and cavity treatment. Wait times seem reasonable for a smaller practice. The second-floor location is easy to miss if you’re not looking for it, so check the building directory on arrival. Overall vibe: neighborhood dentist, not a polished chain clinic.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
