machiya medium shika

Machiya Medium Shika sits inside the Medical Center Medium Machiya building in Arakawa’s Machiya neighborhood — a residential part of northeast Tokyo that doesn’t see many foreign patients. The clinic covers standard dental work: cleanings, fillings, extractions, implants, and cosmetic procedures. Their website has some English-language content, which suggests awareness of non-Japanese patients, but don’t assume that means fluent English-speaking staff are waiting for you at the front desk. The reality is probably a mix of basic English, Google Translate, and goodwill. Machiya is on the Chiyoda Line, so access from central Tokyo is straightforward. This is a neighborhood dental clinic doing solid everyday dentistry — not a specialist expat facility with multilingual coordinators. If your Japanese is minimal, come prepared with a translation app and written notes about your symptoms. Reasonable expectations will serve you well here.
