Mariko Shika Clinic sits on the second floor of a building in Sendagaya, the quieter residential stretch of Shibuya that borders Harajuku and Shinjuku. It’s a general dentistry practice — cleanings, fillings, the usual — run under the Shoryukai medical corporation. The website has some English-language content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume that means a fully bilingual front desk. Reality check: Japanese dental clinics with English web pages often have one staff member with conversational English, or none at all, and this one isn’t confirmed either way. If your Japanese is zero, bring a translation app and have your insurance card and any relevant dental history written out beforehand. The Sendagaya area is walkable from both Sendagaya Station (JR Sobu Line) and Kita-Sando Station (Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line), so getting here isn’t a hassle. Decent option for expats in the Shibuya-Shinjuku corridor who need a local dentist and don’t want to trek across town.
