Touma Shikaiin
Touma Shikaiin is a neighborhood dental clinic in Minami-Senju, one of Arakawa’s more residential pockets in northeast Tokyo. It’s a small, local practice — the kind that’s been serving the same community for years rather than chasing international patients. The website has some English-language content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a full English consultation. Basic communication might be manageable, but bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend if your dental issue is complicated. This isn’t a foreigner-focused clinic, so expect a traditional Japanese dental experience: methodical, thorough, and probably a bit quiet. For expats living in Arakawa or commuting through Minami-Senju, it’s a genuinely convenient local option worth knowing about.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a careful, unhurried approach — this isn’t a conveyor-belt dental practice. Appointments tend to run on time, and the dentist is described as thorough rather than rushed. The atmosphere is calm and low-key, typical of a long-established local clinic. Don’t expect a lot of small talk, but the clinical care seems solid. Good fit for patients who want their teeth dealt with properly, not quickly.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
