  • Shika Takeda Clinic TOBUNERIMA is a dental clinic sitting in the Silver Heights building in Kitamachi, Nerima — a quiet residential corner of northwest Tokyo, about a minute’s walk from Tobu-Nerima Station on the Tobu Tojo Line. The clinic operates under the Fenest medical corporation, which runs a small network of dental offices in the area.

    Their website has some English-language content, which is a decent sign, but don’t count on full bilingual service at the front desk. You’ll likely need some Japanese or a translation app to get through paperwork and detailed consultations. That said, the English web presence suggests they’re at least aware of non-Japanese patients and not completely unprepared.

    Standard dental services — cleanings, fillings, crowns, basic oral surgery — are covered here. For expats in Nerima who just need a solid neighborhood dentist and aren’t deep in a language-barrier panic, this is a reasonable option. Just go in with realistic expectations about how much English will actually flow.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback points to a no-frills neighborhood dental practice — efficient, thorough, and not trying to upsell you on things you don’t need. Wait times appear reasonable for a local clinic. The dentists seem attentive and explanatory, which matters when you’re already anxious about dental work in a foreign language. The setting is modest and functional, not flashy. Exactly what you want from a local dentist — competent and straightforward.

    English Language Proficiency

    The clinic's website includes some English content, which is more than most neighborhood dental clinics in Nerima offer. However, it's unclear whether reception staff can hold a full conversation in English. Walk-ins or callers expecting fluent English support may hit a wall. A translation app (Google Translate works fine for dental basics) or a Japanese-speaking friend would make the visit significantly smoother. Don't assume the web English translates to in-clinic English — verify before your appointment.
