Tokyo Kagurazaka Shika
Tokyo Kagurazaka Shika sits on the second floor of a building in Kagurazaka, one of the more charming and walkable parts of Shinjuku. The area has a long history of attracting international residents, so clinics here tend to have at least some exposure to non-Japanese patients.
The website has some English-language content, which is a decent sign — it suggests they’re aware that foreign patients exist. But “website has English” doesn’t automatically mean the staff can hold a conversation in it. Full English service is unconfirmed, so don’t walk in expecting a fluent consultation without some preparation.
For routine dental work — cleanings, checkups, fillings — the language barrier is manageable even with limited shared vocabulary. For anything more complex like implants, orthodontics, or treatment planning, bring a Japanese-speaking friend or lean on a translation app. Google Translate’s camera mode is genuinely useful here.
The clinic appears to offer general dentistry. Kagurazaka is well-connected and easy to reach from central Tokyo, making this a reasonable option for expats living or working in the area.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback specifically for this clinic is limited in English-language sources. Kagurazaka as a neighborhood tends to attract clinics with a slightly more polished, boutique feel compared to suburban dental chains. Patients at similar area clinics typically report thorough cleanings, punctual appointments, and dentists who take time to explain procedures. Wait times in smaller Tokyo dental offices are usually short. Your mileage may vary — this isn’t a verified review, it’s context.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
