Mikawashima Shika Kurinikku
Mikawashima Shika Kurinikku is a dental clinic on the second floor of a residential-commercial building in Arakawa’s Mikawashima area — not the flashiest neighborhood in Tokyo, but convenient if you’re living in or around the Nippori/Mikawashima corridor. The clinic covers standard dental work: cleanings, fillings, extractions, and general checkups.
English capability here is conversational — staff can handle basic dental vocabulary and appointment logistics in English, which is more than you’ll get at a lot of neighborhood clinics in this part of Tokyo. Don’t expect a fully bilingual experience, but you won’t be stuck playing charades to explain a toothache either. Their website has some English-accessible information, which helps before your first visit.
This is a local neighborhood clinic, not a foreigner-focused dental chain. If you want a comfortable, no-drama experience near home and you’re in the Arakawa area, it does the job well.
Patient Feedback
Patients generally report a calm, no-rush atmosphere — this isn’t a high-volume conveyor-belt clinic. The dentist takes time to explain what’s happening, which matters a lot when you’re already anxious about dental work in a second language. Wait times are typically reasonable for a neighborhood practice. Nothing flashy, but consistent and thorough. Patients appreciate that staff make a genuine effort to communicate rather than just handing you a form and hoping for the best.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
