Uekusa Shika
Uekusa Shika is a dental clinic tucked into the ground floor of a small building in Sanno, Ota Ward — a quiet residential neighborhood in southern Tokyo. The clinic runs under the medical corporation Shin’eikai, which suggests a structured, professional setup rather than a one-dentist side operation.
Their website has some English-language content, which is a decent signal that they’ve thought about international patients at least a little. Whether that translates to a smooth English-language appointment is a different question. Expect basic communication to be possible, but don’t count on a fully bilingual consultation without some preparation on your end.
For expats living in Ota Ward — around Kamata, Omori, or Ikegami — this is a geographically convenient option worth putting on your shortlist. General dentistry, routine checkups, and standard procedures should be manageable here. Just come ready with a translation app and any key dental vocabulary written down.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a calm, unhurried clinic atmosphere — the kind of place where the dentist actually explains what they’re doing rather than just drilling and billing. Wait times appear reasonable for a neighborhood practice. Staff are described as professional and gentle, which matters if dental anxiety is part of your picture. No strong reports of English-fluent staff, but the general vibe seems accommodating rather than dismissive toward non-Japanese speakers.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
