Living in Nakamura-Koen

A working-class residential area in Nakamura Ward, beside the greenery of Nakamura Park and Toyokuni Shrine, the birthplace of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. One line reaches Nagoya Station in 7 minutes and Sakae in 12 minutes, yet rents are low for that range. However, because it adjoins the Nagoya Station entertainment district, Nakamura Ward's public safety ranks in the lower part of the city, so in exchange for cheapness and convenience, you have to look after your own security.

This is a working-class residential area in Nakamura Ward, on the subway Higashiyama Line. It has the greenery of Nakamura Park, the birthplace of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Nagoya Station is close by subway, with rents low for the city-center area, which is good for saving on initial settling-in costs. However, there are many old shopping streets and houses, so the atmosphere is old-fashioned and facilities vary. It suits international students and single people who want to save money as a first place to settle.
