Minoru Shika Ukima Funado
Minoru Shika Ukima Funado is a dental clinic on the second floor of Bergs Mall, right next to Ukimafunado Station on the Saikyo Line in Itabashi. Being inside a shopping mall means easy access and somewhere to kill time before or after your appointment.
The clinic covers standard dental work — checkups, cleanings, fillings, crowns, implants, and orthodontics. Their website has some English content, which suggests they’ve thought about international patients at least a little. That said, full English-language service isn’t confirmed. Basic communication might be manageable, but don’t expect a fluent English-speaking dentist waiting for you. A translation app or bringing a Japanese-speaking friend for complex consultations is a smart move.
For expats in northern Tokyo or along the Saikyo Line, this is a convenient option in an area that doesn’t have a ton of English-friendly dental choices. If your dental needs are routine, the communication barrier is much easier to navigate.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a thorough, unhurried approach — dentists here don’t seem to rush through appointments. The mall location makes it practical: easy parking, step-free access, and no hunting for the building. Appointment availability is generally reasonable for the area. Some patients note the clinic feels modern and well-equipped. No strong reports of English fluency among staff, but the atmosphere is described as calm and professional rather than clinical and rushed.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
