Kinshicho Ichikawa Shika Kyousei Shika

Kinshicho Ichikawa Shika sits on the third floor of the Nagashima Building in Kinshicho, a busy commercial neighborhood in Sumida that’s easy to reach from central Tokyo. This is a general and orthodontic dental practice — so whether you need a filling or braces, they cover it. The website has some English content, which at minimum means they’re aware that non-Japanese patients exist. That’s a start. Whether you’ll get a fully English-speaking dentist or staff member in the chair is harder to confirm without calling ahead. Realistically, prepare for Japanese-dominant communication. A translation app and writing things down goes a long way here. The Kinshicho area is well-connected by the JR Sobu Line and Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line, so access from most parts of Tokyo is straightforward. If you’re living or working in Sumida or East Tokyo and need a local dentist you can actually walk or train to, this is worth checking out — just don’t expect a fully bilingual experience.
