Oshiage Station (Asakusa Line) — 2 min walk
  • English website exists
  • Near central Tokyo
  • TANAKA Dentistry sits in Oshiage, Sumida — that’s the neighborhood right next to Tokyo Skytree, which makes it surprisingly easy to get to from central Tokyo. It’s a general dental clinic handling the usual range: cleanings, fillings, crowns, extractions, and general oral health maintenance.

    The English situation is genuinely unclear. Their website has some English-language content, which suggests awareness of foreign patients, but whether that translates to an English-speaking dentist or front desk staff in the actual clinic is unknown. Don’t walk in expecting fluent English conversation. A translation app or bringing a Japanese-speaking friend would be smart preparation, especially for anything beyond a basic cleaning.

    That said, Oshiage isn’t a particularly international neighborhood, so this isn’t a clinic built around expat patients. It’s a neighborhood dental practice that happens to have some English online presence. If you live in Sumida or eastern Tokyo and need a local dentist without trekking to Roppongi or Shinjuku, it’s worth a call to check what English support actually exists before booking.

    Patient Feedback

    No substantial English-language patient reviews are currently available for this clinic. It appears to serve a primarily local Japanese patient base in the Oshiage area. Without verified patient feedback, it’s hard to speak to wait times, how thorough the dentists are, or the overall vibe. If you’ve been here, your review would genuinely help other expats in Sumida figure out whether this is worth trying.

    English Language Proficiency

    Honest answer: unknown. The clinic has some English on their website, which is more than many neighborhood dentists in this part of Tokyo. But that doesn't confirm English-speaking staff at the desk or in the chair. No verified reports from English-speaking patients exist right now. If you call ahead, use Google Translate to send a message first — many Japanese clinics respond well to written communication even when phone English is limited. Don't assume; confirm before you go.
