Living in Kamata

Kamata is a lively transport hub in southern Ota Ward: the JR Keihin-Tohoku Line and the Tokyu Ikegami and Tamagawa lines meet here, and via Keikyu Kamata, Haneda Airport is about 10 minutes away. A bustling covered shopping street and rents on the cheaper side are its strengths, but it takes 35 minutes or more including transfers to the city center (Shinjuku and Shibuya), and the east exit of the station has a concentration of nighttime entertainment venues, so it may not suit people who want a quiet residential area.

It is a hub in southern Ota Ward served by the JR Keihin-Tohoku Line and the Tokyu Ikegami and Tamagawa lines. Its lively shopping streets and cheap rents give it excellent working-class daily convenience, and Haneda Airport is very close from Keikyu Kamata. The bustle typical of a lively district can be a matter of taste. With good access to the airport, Shinagawa and Yokohama and high value for money, it is advantageous for residents who travel in and out of the country often or want to save on costs.
