Mita Station is served by the Toei Asakusa and Mita Lines and connects directly to JR Tamachi Station by underground passage. The Asakusa Line reaches both Haneda and Narita airports, with Haneda about 25 minutes away without a transfer - a significant advantage for foreign residents and business travelers who fly often. The Mita campus of Keio University is near the station, and historic buildings such as the Old Library, an Important Cultural Property, lend the streets a settled character. The Australian Embassy is in Mita 2-chome, and other embassies are scattered nearby. Offices and homes mix here, with comparatively many English-friendly restaurants and clinics, while the Keio Nakadori shopping street offers meals at reasonable prices. Shiba Park and Tokyo Tower are within walking distance for weekend walks with city views. Despite being close to the business districts, the area has plenty of housing and a calm atmosphere.
