Takahashi shika
Takahashi Shika sits on the fourth floor of the Shinryokugawase Building in Mejiro, Toshima — a quiet residential stretch that’s easy to miss if you’re not looking up. It’s a general dentistry practice covering the usual bases: cleanings, fillings, crowns, and routine checkups.
The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a seamless English conversation at the front desk. Come prepared with your symptoms written down, or have Google Translate ready on your phone. That said, dentistry is one of those specialties where you can get through a lot without perfect language overlap — pointing at a tooth gets you pretty far.
Mejiro Station (JR Yamanote Line) is the nearest access point, making this genuinely convenient if you live in the Toshima, Nerima, or Shinjuku corridor. It’s a neighborhood dental clinic — not a flashy expat-focused practice, but functional, accessible, and worth knowing about if you’re in the area.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a no-fuss neighborhood dental experience — thorough cleanings, straightforward explanations, and appointments that generally run on schedule. The practice has a calm, unhurried feel compared to busier city-center clinics. Waits are typically short. The dentist appears methodical and detail-oriented, which patients seem to appreciate. Nothing flashy, but the kind of local clinic regulars keep coming back to year after year.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
