Living in Chikusa

A transfer hub with deep student demand, where large cram schools have long been concentrated, so much so that it has been called the yobiko (prep school) district. Recently, supertall new condominiums have gone up, and a shift is visible with retirees who want access to the city center also moving in. It reaches downtown by two routes, JR and the subway, and public safety is rated upper-middle or better in most sources.

This is a transportation junction in Chikusa Ward, where the JR Chuo Line and the subway Higashiyama Line meet. Large cram schools and offices gather here and access to Sakae and Nagoya Station is good, so demand from office workers and students is steady, and JR reaches places around the Chubu region while the subway reaches the city center quickly. However, there is no large entertainment district, so it is a somewhat calm neighborhood. It suits office workers and students who put transit convenience first and want housing near the city center.
