Furukawa Shika

Furukawa Shika is a second-floor dental clinic in Kamedo, Koto Ward — a residential pocket of east Tokyo that most expats don’t end up in unless they actually live nearby. It’s a general dentistry practice handling the usual range: cleanings, fillings, crowns, extractions. The clinic has some English content on its website, which suggests they’ve thought about non-Japanese patients, but that doesn’t guarantee fluent English at reception or chairside. Realistically, you should expect Japanese as the primary language here. If you live in Koto Ward and need a local dentist rather than trekking to a more expat-friendly clinic in Shinjuku or Minato, this is worth a call. Bring a translation app, have your insurance card ready, and don’t expect the intake forms to be in English. The Kameido area is well-connected via JR Sobu Line, so access is straightforward. A solid neighborhood option if you’re in the area — just go in with realistic expectations about the language situation.
