Ukima-Funado Station (Asakusa Line) — 2 min walk
  • Inside Bergs Mall, step-free access
  • Near central Tokyo
  • 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

    The website has English-language content, which is a decent sign — they're aware foreign patients exist. But having an English website and having English-speaking staff are two different things. There's no confirmed information about reception or dentists being fluent in English. For a cleaning or simple filling, pointing and a translation app will probably get you through. For anything involving treatment decisions, medication, or complex procedures, bring someone who speaks Japanese or prepare detailed written notes in Japanese beforehand.
