MAEJIMA Dental Clinic
MAEJIMA Dental Clinic sits in Sumida ward — not exactly expat central, but a genuinely residential part of Tokyo that doesn’t see many foreign patients. That’s worth knowing upfront. The clinic handles standard dental work: checkups, cleanings, fillings, and likely basic restorative care. Their website has some English-facing content, which suggests awareness that non-Japanese patients exist, but don’t book expecting a fully bilingual experience. Bring a translation app, have your symptoms written out in Japanese if you can manage it, and you’ll probably be fine. The area around Kikukawa is quiet and accessible — a short hop from Kikukawa Station on the Shinjuku and Toei Shinjuku lines. If you live in Sumida or eastern Tokyo and need a local dentist without trekking to Roppongi or Shinjuku, this is a reasonable option to try.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback specific to this clinic is limited, which is common for smaller neighborhood practices in non-expat areas of Tokyo. Expect a typical Japanese dental experience: thorough, methodical, unhurried by Western standards. Japanese dentists generally take multiple short appointments to complete treatment rather than doing everything at once — that’s not inefficiency, it’s just the system. If you’ve been to a Japanese dentist before, you know the drill. If you haven’t, budget for several visits.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
