Living in Nishi-Kasai

A multinational living area where 'Little India', Japan's largest Indian community, has taken root, with well-developed Indian grocery stores, international schools and community networks. Otemachi and Tokyo Station are in the 15-minute range on the single Tozai Line, it is cheaper than the city center, and there are several large supermarkets. However, the Tozai Line is one of the most crowded lines in Tokyo, so you must be ready for packed commuter trains.

Nishi-Kasai is a multinational living area in Edogawa Ward on the Tozai Subway Line. Foreign communities, including Indian ones, have formed here, so there is a wide variety of groceries and restaurants, with a direct line to Otemachi, large supermarkets and well-developed everyday infrastructure, and reasonable rents, which makes it popular with foreign residents. However, it is low-lying, so there are some flooding concerns. It suits single-person households and families who want a direct commute to the city center, multicultural convenience and good value.
