KEYAKI SHIKA CLINIC
Keyaki Shika Clinic sits in Itabashi’s Tokiwadai neighborhood, tucked into the ground floor of a residential building — the kind of setup that feels more like a neighborhood dentist than a clinic chain. They cover standard dental work: cleanings, fillings, extractions, and likely some cosmetic and orthodontic options based on their site.
The English situation is genuinely unclear. Their website has some English-facing content, which suggests they’re at least aware that foreign patients exist. But whether that translates to a receptionist who can walk you through a treatment plan in English is another question entirely. Bring a translation app. If your Japanese is functional enough to handle basic medical vocab, you’ll probably be fine. If you need full English support from check-in to chair, call ahead first.
Tokiwadai Station on the Tobu Tojo Line is the practical access point. It’s a quieter part of northwest Tokyo — not a major expat hub, so don’t expect a multilingual setup as a default.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a thorough, unhurried approach — the kind of dentist who actually explains what they’re doing before drilling. Wait times appear reasonable for a neighborhood clinic. The atmosphere is calm and residential rather than clinical and rushed. No strong signals of English-speaking staff from patient accounts, but the overall vibe seems patient and accommodating. Probably fine for routine work if you can manage basic communication.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
