Kouundo Shikaiin

Kouundo Shikaiin sits on the ground floor of the Kouundo Building in Sugamo, one of Toshima’s most walkable neighborhoods — easy to find, easy to get to. This is a general dental clinic handling the full range of day-to-day dental work: cleanings, fillings, extractions, and routine checkups. Nothing flashy, just solid neighborhood dentistry.

For English speakers, the situation is workable. Staff have conversational English, so you’re not going in completely blind with a translation app clutched to your chest. Don’t expect fluent clinical explanations in English, but basic communication about what’s happening and what comes next is realistic. If your Japanese is zero, you’ll manage — if you have some, even better.

Sugamo itself is a calm, older neighborhood, easy to navigate from Sugamo Station on the Toei Mita Line or JR Yamanote Line. The clinic’s ground-floor setup means no elevator hunting. A practical, no-drama option for expats in Toshima who need reliable dental care without the hassle of trekking to a major hospital.
