Denenchofu Station is served by the Tokyu Toyoko and Meguro Lines, reaching Shibuya in about 15 minutes. Since the station opened in 1923, the distinctive townscape of streets radiating out from it has been preserved, and the old station building with its red gabled roof has been restored as the symbol of the neighborhood. Known as one of Japan's most prestigious residential districts, it consists mainly of houses on large lots and low-rise apartment buildings, and its green, quiet setting is particularly popular with families. Horai Park and Tamagawadai Park offer seasonal nature and cherry blossoms, and at the bottom of the hill the banks of the Tama River open out. Tokyu Store and other shops in front of the station make groceries and daily goods easy to pick up locally. The character of the streets is protected by local landscape rules and building agreements.
