Itagaki Shika Clinic
Itagaki Shika Clinic sits on the second floor of the Yasuno Building in Hongo, Bunkyo — a neighborhood packed with University of Tokyo students, researchers, and long-term residents who actually know what they’re doing when it comes to finding decent local services.
This is a general dentistry practice handling the usual range: cleanings, fillings, crowns, and preventive care. The clinic has some English content on its website, which suggests they’ve thought about non-Japanese patients at least a little. That said, full English-language service isn’t confirmed — reception staff may have limited English, so bringing a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend for your first visit is smart.
The Hongo area is well-connected and walkable from Hongo-sanchome Station on the Marunouchi and Oedo lines. If you’re living or working in Bunkyo, this is a conveniently located option worth a call to gauge how comfortable they are with English before you book.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a straightforward, no-frills dental experience — thorough examinations and clear explanations of treatment plans. Wait times appear reasonable for a neighborhood clinic. The doctor is described as methodical and unhurried, which is reassuring when language barriers are already adding stress. The second-floor location is easy to miss, so check the building signage carefully when you arrive.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
