Tokyo boasts a well-developed transportation network centered around railways,

but we often hear comments like:

“The routes are too complicated to understand,”

or “When looking for a place to live, I don't know which line, station, or area to search in.”

Therefore, we'll introduce recommended lines and areas for students

that offer convenient transportation and relatively good living environments.

This article features the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line

and dormitories along its route.

 

 

 

What is the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line?

 

This line runs from Shibuya Station through Sangenjaya, Futakotamagawa,

and the northern parts of Kawasaki City and Yokohama City, connecting to Chuo-Rinkan Station.

From Shibuya Station, 

it operates through-service with the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line,

allowing direct access to Omotesando, Aoyama, Kudanshita, Jimbocho, Otemachi,

and Oshiage (home to Tokyo Skytree) without transfers.

Sangenjaya and Futakotamagawa are popular as stylish shopping and strolling spots,

and above all, the excellent access to Shibuya makes this a highly sought-after line within Tokyo.

It's also particularly popular with families, 

as many stations feature large supermarkets and commercial facilities right in front.

Here, we'll introduce recommended stations along the line 

and recommended dormy accommodations.

*Travel times in parentheses are approximate.

They may vary slightly depending on the time of day, train type, and transfers.

 

 

 

１）Komazawa-Daigaku Station

（3 stops, 6 minutes from Shibuya station via semi-express or local train)
