  • Hayashida Shika sits on the second floor of the Minamiekimae Building just steps from Komagome Station in Toshima — which means it’s easy to find and easy to get to from most of the Yamanote line. It’s a general dentistry practice covering the usual bases: cleanings, fillings, implants, orthodontics, and cosmetic work.

    The website has some English-language content, which is a good sign — it suggests they’ve thought about non-Japanese patients at least a little. But that doesn’t guarantee a smooth English conversation at reception or chairside. You might get lucky with a staff member who’s comfortable in English, or you might be pulling out Google Translate. It’s that kind of situation.

    If your Japanese is workable, this is a solid neighborhood dentist with a convenient location. If you’re fully English-only, go in with your translation app ready and don’t expect a fully bilingual experience. Worth a call ahead to test the waters before you book.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback points to a competent, no-fuss neighborhood dental practice. People generally appreciate the convenient location and the fact that appointments tend to run on time — a bigger deal than it sounds at Japanese clinics. The dentists come across as thorough rather than rushed. It’s not a flashy setup, but the work gets done properly and follow-up care is taken seriously. Nothing in the reviews screams “avoid,” and nothing screams “life-changing.” Reliable is the word.

    English Language Proficiency

    The website has English-language sections, which puts Hayashida Shika ahead of many local clinics — but that's not the same as confirmed English-speaking staff. There's no clear evidence that reception or dentists can hold a full English conversation. If you're going, send an email in English first to gauge the response. Bring a translation app as backup. For anything complex — treatment plans, insurance questions — you'll want a bilingual friend or a written summary ready.
