Living in Oimachi

Oimachi is a mini sub-center of Shinagawa Ward where three lines, the JR, Tokyu and Rinkai lines, overlap, and with Shinagawa Station 3 to 4 minutes away, Tokyo Station 12 to 15 minutes and Shinjuku and Shibuya about 20 minutes, there is deep demand from office workers who want to live close to work. A large shopping mall directly above the station and an old shopping street sit together, so daily life is easy, but it is less a purely residential neighborhood than a mix of 'commercial area around a station plus housing', which may disappoint those expecting a quiet neighborhood feel.

It is a practical residential area of Shinagawa Ward served by the JR Keihin-Tohoku Line, the Tokyu Oimachi Line and the Rinkai Line. Large shopping facilities and restaurant areas are well developed, Shinagawa is 2 minutes away and access to Haneda Airport is also good, so demand from office workers is high. It is a neighborhood centered on everyday convenience rather than flashy character. With convenient access to both the city center and the airport and well-developed infrastructure, it is a reasonable choice for those who put commuting and daily convenience first.
