Sakamoto Shika

Sakamoto Shika sits in Ichinoie, one of Edogawa’s quieter residential pockets — not the kind of neighborhood expats stumble into by accident. If you’re living out east in Edogawa or Katsushika, though, this is the kind of local dental clinic worth knowing about. They operate under the medical corporation Koyu-kai, which usually signals a more structured, ongoing-care model rather than a one-and-done fix-up approach.

English capability is genuinely unclear here. The website has some English-facing content, but that doesn’t always translate to a bilingual receptionist picking up the phone. If your Japanese is minimal, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend for anything beyond basic pointing at teeth. Standard dental procedures — cleanings, fillings, checkups — are universal enough that communication gaps are manageable. Complex treatment planning is where you’ll want language backup.

Not a clinic you’d travel across Tokyo for, but if you’re local to Edogawa, it’s a solid neighborhood option worth a call.
