Living in Denenchofu

Japan's first planned residential area, developed from 1918 by Eiichi Shibusawa. It is famous for its dignified streets, with fan-shaped radial roads combined with ginkgo and cherry tree-lined avenues. However, it is designated a Category 1 low-rise exclusively residential zone plus a scenic district, so small rentals are very rare, and those that do appear are above the Tokyo average, so it suits families who can afford long-term residence in a quiet environment more than convenience.

It is a leading upscale residential area of Japan, served by the Tokyu Toyoko and Meguro lines. It is famous for its dignified streets, with radially laid out avenues and rows of large residences. Because it is centered on large residences, the supply of rentals is small and rents are very high, which you should keep in mind. It is a neighborhood with good access to Shibuya and a top-level living environment.
