Living in Minami-Azabu

With 14 embassies and international schools, this is one of the most international residential areas even within Minato Ward. Round-the-clock security and patrols make it among the safest in Tokyo, and although there is no station in the neighborhood, residents use the three directions of Hiroo, Shirokanetakanawa and Azabu-juban. In return, rents are among the highest in the 23 wards and there are no large supermarkets or entertainment districts, so daily convenience is limited.

Although it has no station, it is the most upscale residential area of Minato Ward, within walking distance of Hiroo and Azabu-juban. With many embassies and international schools, it is a quiet and dignified neighborhood favored by foreign residents. You should keep in mind that rents are among the highest in the city, which makes the barrier to entry high. It suits those who want quiet, high-end living in the middle of the city.
