Takahashi shika
Takahashi Shika sits on the 4th floor of a building in Mejiro, one of those quieter, residential-feeling corners of Toshima that doesn’t get much tourist foot traffic. It’s a general dentistry clinic handling the usual range — cleanings, fillings, extractions, cosmetic work. The website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t walk in expecting a fully bilingual experience. Staff English ability is unconfirmed, so bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend if your dental vocabulary isn’t strong. That said, the clinic clearly puts effort into accessibility — the web presence suggests they’re aware of international patients. Mejiro Station is close, which makes getting there straightforward on the Yamanote Line. If you’re living in Toshima or nearby Shinjuku-side neighborhoods and need a local dentist without trekking to a big expat clinic downtown, this is worth a look — just go in with realistic expectations about the language situation.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a calm, no-frills practice that takes its time with appointments rather than rushing people through. The Mejiro location keeps the crowd manageable — you’re not competing with hundreds of other patients. People tend to note that the dentist is thorough and explains procedures clearly, though how much of that communication lands in English depends heavily on the visit. Wait times appear reasonable for a neighborhood clinic of this size.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
