Living in Kita-Senju

A transport hub in Adachi Ward where five lines meet. The inflow of university campuses draws young single residents and international students, the Marui and Lumine commercial area to the west and the Gakuen-dori shopping street to the east are lively, and rents are cheaper than in the city center. However, with so many lines the station layout is complicated, and it has a strong feel of an old working-class neighborhood, so you may be disappointed if you expect a refined atmosphere.

It is a huge transfer hub where five lines come together: the JR Joban Line, the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda and Hibiya lines, the Tobu Line and the TX. Redevelopment has brought universities and shopping facilities and it has quickly become a better place to live, and cheap rents make it highly popular with international students and single residents. Some of the old Shitamachi entertainment district image remains. With transport that quickly reaches anywhere in the city center and good value as strengths, it suits those who want both cost savings and convenience.
