INOSE Shika
INOSE Shika sits on the ground floor of the NBC Mita Building in Shiba, Minato — a quiet, workaday part of the ward that’s easy to reach from Mita or Tamachi stations. It’s a general dental practice, so you’re looking at cleanings, fillings, crowns, extractions, the usual. The clinic has an English-language website, which is a promising sign — it suggests they’ve thought about international patients at least a little. That said, having an English website and having English-speaking staff on shift are two different things. You may get someone who can handle basic dental vocabulary in English, or you may end up leaning on Google Translate for anything nuanced. It’s worth calling ahead or sending an email through their site to feel out the language situation before you show up with a cracked molar and no Japanese. Small clinic, neighborhood feel, not a flashy expat-focused setup.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a calm, unhurried atmosphere — this isn’t a high-volume factory clinic. The dentists tend to explain what they’re doing before they do it, which nervous patients appreciate. Wait times are generally reasonable for a neighborhood practice. Nothing flashy, but people seem to leave feeling like they were actually looked at, not just processed. Repeat patients are common, which usually means something.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
