Living in Imaike

As befits a neighborhood that developed from a red-light district, nightlife venues line the main road, and it is a subculture and nightlife street where live music houses fill the basement of every mixed-use building. Two subway lines reach both Sakae and Nagoya Station without a transfer, an outstanding location that suits single people and students who want liveliness and access.

This is an entertainment district in eastern Nagoya, where the subway Higashiyama Line and Sakuradori Line cross and live music houses and bars gather. With a well-developed nightlife culture, music and dining infrastructure is rich, yet rents are more reasonable than in Sakae, so you can enjoy city-center living with good value. However, it has the character of a nightlife district, so opinions on the atmosphere of the streets at night are divided. Sakae is one or two stops away, so it suits single people and young people who want both liveliness and low costs.
