Kitasenju Station (Hibiya Line) — 1 min walk
  • Inside Kitasenju Marui mall
  • Near central Tokyo
  • Foresuto Shika sits on the third floor of Kitasenju Marui — the shopping mall attached to Kitasenju Station, one of the busiest transport hubs in northeast Tokyo. That location is genuinely convenient: you can slot a dental appointment into a commute or a shopping run without going out of your way.

    The clinic covers general dentistry and orthodontics (kyousei shika), so whether you need a filling, a cleaning, or you’re thinking about braces or aligners, they handle it in-house.

    English capability is a grey area. Their website has some English-facing content, which suggests they’re at least aware that foreign patients exist. But whether that translates to English-speaking staff at reception or chairside is unconfirmed. Bring a translation app as backup, or use Google Translate to message ahead and ask directly. Don’t assume fluency — but don’t assume zero either.

    Patient Feedback

    Patients tend to mention the location as a genuine plus — being inside a mall means easy access and no hunting for the building. The orthodontics side gets reasonably positive feedback for thorough consultation before starting treatment. Wait times appear manageable for a busy station-area clinic. The overall vibe reads as professional and calm rather than rushed. No standout complaints about communication, but Japanese-dominant interactions seem to be the norm.

    English Language Proficiency

    Honest answer: unclear. The clinic's website has English elements, which puts them ahead of many local dental offices, but that doesn't guarantee an English-speaking staff member will be at the desk when you arrive. No confirmed reports of fluent English reception. Your safest move is to contact them in advance — Google Translate a simple message asking about English support. Come prepared with a translation app and a note describing your symptoms or reason for the visit. Don't walk in cold expecting smooth English communication.
