Megumi Shika

Megumi Shika is a neighborhood dental clinic in Arakawa, one of Tokyo’s quieter residential wards, sitting at the northern edge of the city far from the expat-heavy clusters of Minato or Shinjuku. That means shorter waits, local patients, and a very Japanese clinical experience. The website has some English text, which suggests they’ve thought about international patients at least a little — but don’t show up expecting a fully bilingual front desk. This is a standard general dentistry setup: cleanings, fillings, checkups, the usual. If your Japanese is zero, bring a translation app and write down your symptoms beforehand. The clinic is small and local, which has real advantages — you’re not a number here. Arakawa isn’t convenient for most expats, but if you live or work in the area, this is a reasonable option for routine dental care without trekking across the city.
