Kodama Shika
Kodama Shika sits on the third floor of the Gotanda Sun Heights building in Nishi-Gotanda — a quiet residential pocket of Shinagawa, a short walk from Gotanda Station. It’s a small, private dental practice rather than a chain clinic, so expect a more personal setup than the big glass-fronted dental offices you see near major hubs.
The website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fully bilingual experience. Reception may have limited English, and the dentist’s level will depend on who you see. Come prepared with a translation app or written notes about your symptoms. That said, the English website does suggest they’re at least aware that foreign patients exist, which is more than you can say for plenty of Tokyo dental clinics.
Standard dentistry — cleanings, fillings, check-ups. No red flags, no obvious specialization beyond general dental care.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback is limited online, which is common for smaller private clinics in Tokyo. What exists suggests a standard, unhurried experience typical of solo-dentist practices — not a conveyor belt. Appointments appear to run on time. The setup is modest but functional. No strong reports of English-speaking staff, but also no complaints about communication being a dealbreaker. Expect a thorough check-up rather than a rushed one.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
