Touma Shikaiin
Touma Shikaiin is a neighborhood dental clinic in Minami-Senju, Arakawa — a quieter residential part of northeast Tokyo that most expats don’t end up in unless they live nearby. It’s a standard Japanese general dentistry setup: cleanings, fillings, extractions, the usual. The website has some English content, which suggests they’ve at least thought about non-Japanese patients, but whether that translates to smooth chair-side communication in English is genuinely unclear. Don’t walk in expecting bilingual staff. A translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend would be useful backup. That said, if you live in Arakawa or along the Joban Line, this is a convenient local option worth knowing about rather than commuting to central Tokyo for routine work.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a no-fuss, efficient neighborhood clinic. Appointments tend to move on schedule, which locals appreciate. The dentist is described as methodical and thorough rather than rushed. It’s a small practice, so the atmosphere is calm and not overwhelming — good if you find big hospital dental departments stressful. Nothing flashy, just competent, consistent care.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
