Gakugeidaigaku Station on the Tokyu Toyoko Line is about 6 minutes from Shibuya by express, with a direct connection toward Yokohama. The station takes its name from Tokyo Gakugei University, though the university itself moved to Koganei in 1964 and only the station name remains. The shopping streets running from the east and west exits hold more than 300 independent bakeries, delicatessens, cafés and restaurants, so everything you need for daily life is within walking distance. Himonya Park, with its boat pond and small-animal corner, is a favorite with families. Sandwiched between the popular Nakameguro and Jiyugaoka areas, rents here remain comparatively moderate, making it a good fit for those who value everyday livability. Head toward Meguro-dori and you will also find larger supermarkets, so bulk shopping is manageable without a car.
