Yamazaki Shika
Yamazaki Shika is a neighborhood dental clinic tucked into the first floor of a residential building in Egota, Nakano — a quiet pocket of west Tokyo that doesn’t see many expats. It’s a small, local practice doing standard dental work: cleanings, fillings, extractions, orthodontics, implants. The website has some English-language content, which suggests they’ve thought about non-Japanese patients at least a little. That said, don’t count on smooth English communication at the front desk. A translation app or basic Japanese phrases will help. This isn’t a clinic that’s built its identity around serving foreigners — it’s a solid local dentist that happens to have some English presence online. If you live in Nakano or nearby and want a dentist within walking distance rather than commuting to a bigger international clinic, it’s worth a call to gauge the language situation before booking.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a thorough, unhurried approach — the kind of local dentist who explains what they’re doing rather than rushing you out. Wait times at smaller Nakano clinics like this tend to be reasonable when you book ahead. The setting is low-key and residential, not a polished city-center operation. Patients seem to appreciate the straightforward treatment style. No strong pattern of complaints, but also no large English-speaking patient base leaving reviews.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
