Living in Mejiro

The Mejiro Station area on the Yamanote Line is a calm and dignified upscale residential area centered on Gakushuin University, with the rare advantage of living close to work in both directions: about 7 minutes to Shinjuku and about 3 minutes to Ikebukuro. It feels safe, and embassy and foreign-company executive families have also settled in this quiet neighborhood, but accordingly there is almost nothing to do at night and market rents are among the expensive along the Yamanote Line, so it may feel dull to people who want a lively neighborhood.

It is a quiet and dignified upscale residential area of Toshima Ward served by the JR Yamanote Line. With Gakushuin University here, the atmosphere is calm and safe, and tidy residential streets continue, so it is preferred by families and foreign residents. There are few large commercial facilities around the station, so you use neighboring neighborhoods for shopping. Ikebukuro is one stop away, so access to conveniences is easy while you can still enjoy tranquility, which suits those who want quiet living.
