Meguro Station

[Real comments and reasons from people who chose this area]

'Not only the Mita Line, but also the Yamanote Line, Tokyu Line, and Namboku Line are available, giving unbeatable access. Exploring stylish cafes and restaurants along the Meguro River has become my weekend enjoyment.' (Female in her 20s)

'Even though it's the heart of the city, once you step inside, there is a very quiet and calm residential area. I have no complaints about safety, status, or transportation.' (Male in his 40s)

'It's convenient to go anywhere, and the overall atmosphere of the town is sophisticated. Rent and property prices are high, but I feel it's a special town worth that value.' (Female in her 50s)

[Professional opinion] Meguro, the starting point of the Toei Mita Line, received overwhelming support and took first place. Not only the convenience of using four train lines, but also the rich nature represented by cherry blossoms along the Meguro River, sophisticated food culture, and the highly sought-after residential environment of the Jonan area are beautifully harmonized. It is a town with extremely high brand power, coveted by singles and families alike as a place they want to live at least once.

2nd Place: Shirokanedai (118 votes)

Shirokanedai Station

[Real comments and reasons from people who chose this area]

'The whole town is elegant and clean, starting with 'Shirokane Aile City' in front of the station. I think safety is among the top in Tokyo, so I can live with peace of mind.' (Female in her 30s)

'I'm happy that there are first trains and additional trains, so there's a chance to sit even during morning rush hour. It's close to Azabujuban and Roppongi, allowing a sophisticated lifestyle.' (Male in his 40s)

[Professional opinion] This is a shared section with the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line and is a key operational station for first trains toward Meguro and the Meguro Line. Due to large-scale redevelopment around the station in recent years, cutting-edge tower condominiums and modern commercial facilities have been built, making it a popular upscale residential area overnight. It is an area that combines status and high convenience, attracting high-income earners and power couples.

3rd Place: Sugamo (82 votes)

Sugamo Station

[Real comments and reasons from people who chose this area]

'It's called 'Harajuku for Grandma,' but it's extremely comfortable for young people to live in too. Jizo-dori shopping street is lively, there are many delicious set-meal restaurants, and it's a homey town.' (Female in her 20s)

'The ability to transfer to the Yamanote Line is really convenient. There's a station building (atrevie), and a 24-hour supermarket, so even if I work late, my daily rhythm doesn't get disrupted.' (Male in his 30s)

[Professional opinion] Sugamo, where the Mita Line and JR Yamanote Line intersect, is one of Tokyo's foremost transportation hubs. In addition to 'safety' and 'shopping convenience' offered by its highly recognized shopping street, ongoing infrastructure development around the station continues to evolve the town into a place where a wide range of generations can live comfortably. It has a hybrid appeal: the Yamanote Line brand and the direct office access of the Mita Line.

4th Place: Itabashikuyakushomae (68 votes)

Suidobashi Station / LaQua

'It has a strong image as an office district, but once you step into an alley, there is a historical and calm atmosphere, making it a perfect town for an adult living alone.' (Female in her 30s)

[Professional opinion] Suidobashi not only has the Mita Line but also the JR Chuo-Sobu Line, offering outstanding mobility to anywhere in Tokyo. While it is an educational and business district with many universities and companies, commercial facilities like Tokyo Dome City are nearby, creating a high-level fusion of living convenience and entertainment. For singles and DINKs who value living close to work, it is an area with very high asset value.
