Mikawashima Shika Kurinikku
Mikawashima Shika Kurinikku is a dental clinic on the second floor of a residential building in Arakawa’s Mikawashima neighborhood — not a flashy setup, but a solid local practice that quietly serves the area. The clinic covers standard dental work: cleanings, fillings, extractions, and general checkups. Staff have conversational English, so you won’t be completely on your own trying to mime a toothache. It’s not a fully bilingual clinic, but you can get through a standard appointment without a Japanese-speaking friend in tow. The building is near Mikawashima Station on the Joban Line, which makes it accessible from central Tokyo. If you’re living in Arakawa or the northern neighborhoods and need a reliable dentist who won’t make you feel lost, this is a reasonable option. Don’t expect a concierge English experience — expect a normal Japanese dental clinic where the staff can manage basic communication in English.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a calm, no-fuss atmosphere. The clinic runs on schedule more often than not — waits are generally short by Tokyo dental standards. The dentist is described as thorough and unhurried, which matters when you’re already anxious about explaining symptoms in a second language. Nothing flashy, but patients seem to leave feeling like their teeth were actually looked at properly. Repeat visits are common, which usually says something.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
