KASAJIMA Dental Clinic
KASAJIMA Dental Clinic sits in Nagasaki, Toshima — a quiet residential stretch of northwest Tokyo that most expats never end up in unless they live nearby. It’s a small, local dental practice rather than an international clinic, so don’t expect a bilingual front desk waiting to greet you in English.
The clinic does have some English content on its website, which suggests they’re at least aware that non-Japanese patients exist. But “some English online” and “comfortable English appointment” are two different things. If your Japanese is limited, come prepared — a translation app, written notes about your symptoms, or a Japanese-speaking friend will all help.
For routine dental work — checkups, cleaning, fillings — this kind of neighborhood clinic is often perfectly adequate and significantly cheaper than the big international dental practices in central Tokyo. If you’re in Toshima and need a dentist without trekking to Shinjuku or Ikebukuro, it’s worth a call. Just don’t assume the experience will be in English.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a calm, no-frills neighborhood practice — the kind where the dentist takes time and doesn’t rush you out. Wait times appear reasonable for a local clinic. The setting is small and personal rather than polished and corporate. Patients who speak Japanese report straightforward, thorough care. No strong pattern of reviews from English-speaking patients, which itself tells you something about the typical clientele.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
