Nao Shika Clinic
Nao Shika Clinic sits on the 3rd floor of the ASK Nihonbashi Building in Chuo’s Kodenmacho area — a quiet pocket of old Tokyo that most expats pass through without stopping. The clinic covers standard dental work: cleanings, fillings, crowns, and general oral care.
Their website has some English content, which is a decent sign — it suggests they’re at least aware that non-Japanese patients exist. But “English on the website” and “English at the front desk” are different things. Expect Japanese-dominant communication in practice. A translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend would make your visit smoother, especially for anything beyond a routine cleaning.
Kodenmacho Station (Hibiya Line) is basically at the door, so getting there isn’t the problem. The challenge is setting realistic expectations: this is a neighborhood dental clinic, not an international medical center. If you need simple dental work and can manage basic communication gaps, it’s a convenient central Tokyo option.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a competent, no-frills dental clinic. Appointments tend to run on schedule, which is standard for Japanese dental offices. The dentist is described as thorough and careful — not rushed. The clinic is small and quiet, so it doesn’t have that overwhelming big-hospital energy. Most reviews are in Japanese, which tells you something about the typical patient base. Foreigners who’ve visited seem to manage, but communication takes effort.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
