Sugamo Ekimae Muraoka Shika Clinic
Sugamo Ekimae Muraoka Shika Clinic sits on the second floor of the Sugamo Toho Building, right in front of Sugamo Station on the Yamanote Line. That location is genuinely convenient — no wandering down side streets, no confusing building complexes.
The clinic covers standard dental work: cleanings, fillings, crowns, extractions, and routine checkups. Nothing exotic, but they do the fundamentals well.
For English speakers, the situation is better than average for a neighborhood dental clinic. Staff have conversational English, which means you can communicate the basics — tooth pain, sensitivity, what you’re anxious about — without pulling out Google Translate every five seconds. Don’t expect fluent clinical English, but you won’t be completely on your own either. Some English materials are available.
This is a solid local dentist option for expats living in or passing through Toshima. If you’re in the Sugamo or Komagome area and need reliable dental care without a language nightmare, this is worth bookmarking.
Patient Feedback
Patients generally describe a clean, no-fuss clinic that runs on time. The location directly in front of Sugamo Station gets mentioned a lot — easy to find, easy to get to. The dentist is noted as thorough and calm, which counts for a lot if you’re already anxious about dental visits in a foreign country. Wait times appear reasonable for a neighborhood practice. Not a high-tech specialist clinic, but consistent and reliable for everyday dental needs.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
