Daikanyama Station on the Tokyu Toyoko Line is just one stop, about 2 minutes, from Shibuya, with Nakameguro and Ebisu within walking distance, yet the neighborhood keeps a calm, unhurried atmosphere. Around the station you will find Daikanyama Tsutaya Books (Daikanyama T-SITE), which stocks foreign-language books and magazines, Hillside Terrace designed by architect Fumihiko Maki, and the former Asakura Residence, a wooden building from the Taisho era - simply walking these streets is a pleasure. With the Royal Danish Embassy nearby, the area has long been chosen by foreign residents, and cafés, bakeries and interior shops with English menus are a defining feature. Supermarkets carrying imported foods are also close at hand, so daily shopping is no trouble. Kyu-Yamate-dori, running from the station toward Yarigasaki, is a leafy avenue of low-rise homes and street trees that locals enjoy as an everyday walking route.
