Kasai Station on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line reaches Otemachi in about 17 minutes and Nihombashi in about 15 minutes, giving direct access to the central business districts. The Subway Museum is right by the station, with real train cars and driving simulators that appeal to children and rail enthusiasts alike. Edogawa Ward is known for having one of Tokyo's largest Indian communities, and the area around Kasai Station has Indian restaurants, spice shops and international schools. Large supermarkets and shopping streets are well established, and prices and rents are more affordable than in central Tokyo. The ward provides multilingual consultation services for residents, and with many parks it is a comfortable place for families to settle for the long term. A Tokyo Metro train depot nearby gives the town a railway character, while the Old Edogawa River and the Sogo Recreation Park offer plenty of space to spend time with children.
