Living in Daikanyama

Between Ebisu and Nakameguro in Shibuya Ward, centered on Daikanyama Station on the Tokyu Toyoko Line, this is a neighborhood where a street of select shops and cafes coexists with quiet upscale residential areas. It is only 2 minutes to Shibuya and about 15 to 20 minutes to Shinjuku, so transport is top-grade and safety is among the best in Tokyo, but rents are also in Tokyo's upper range and shops close early at night, making it fairly quiet.

Served by the Tokyu Toyoko Line, it is regarded as the neighborhood with Tokyo's most stylish street of select shops and cafes. A quiet upscale residential area between Ebisu and Nakameguro, it has many creatives and foreign residents, and a refined atmosphere runs through every alley. Top-tier rents and the small size of the station are downsides. Within walking distance of Shibuya yet calm and dignified, it gives special satisfaction to those who value design and lifestyle.
