KIM Shika iin
KIM Shika iin sits on the 10th floor of the World Business Center in Okubo, Shinjuku — a short walk from Shin-Okubo Station, right in the middle of one of Tokyo’s most internationally diverse neighborhoods. That location isn’t accidental. This clinic has built a patient base that includes a lot of non-Japanese speakers, and conversational English is available, so you’re not going to be stuck pointing at your teeth and hoping for the best.
It’s a general dentistry practice covering the usual range — cleanings, fillings, crowns, implants. The 10th floor location means the waiting room has decent views, which is a small but real comfort when you’re dreading a root canal. Staff have experience with foreign patients and the communication style reflects that. You won’t get English-language brochures for everything, but basic consultations in English are manageable. For expats in Shinjuku or nearby who need a dentist they can actually talk to, this is a solid, practical option.
Patient Feedback
Patients generally note that communication is smoother here than at most Tokyo dental clinics — staff make an effort in English rather than defaulting to silence. Wait times are reasonable for Shinjuku. The clinic feels professional without being cold. Doctors are thorough and tend to explain what they’re doing, which matters when you’re anxious about dental work in a foreign country. Not a flashy private clinic, but reliable and straightforward.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
