Oshiage First Shika
Oshiage First Shika sits on the 4th floor of the Maruhon Building in Sumida’s Narihira neighborhood — a short walk from Oshiage Station, home of Tokyo Skytree. It’s a general dental clinic handling the usual range: checkups, cleanings, fillings, and likely cosmetic work. The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but whether that translates to smooth English-speaking reception or chair-side communication is genuinely unclear. Don’t assume you’ll be able to explain a toothache in English without some backup. Bring a translation app, have your symptoms written out, or use the clinic’s contact form to ask about English support before you book. The Oshiage/Narihira area isn’t a typical expat hub, so this probably isn’t a clinic that sees foreign patients constantly — but it’s not hostile to them either. Worth a direct inquiry if you’re based in Sumida or eastern Tokyo.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback specific to this clinic is limited online in English. The Sumida location and 4th-floor setup suggest a smaller, quieter practice rather than a high-volume chain clinic. That usually means less waiting and more face time with the dentist — but it also means less infrastructure for non-Japanese speakers. If you’ve been here, we’d genuinely love to know what the experience was like.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
