Shimokitazawa is a small but vibrant neighborhood located in Setagaya Ward. Over the years it has garnered a reputation as a hip, trendy area frequented by young adults, thanks to its flourishing art and music scene. Located close to the large downtown hub of Shibuya as well, this area provides residents with plenty of livability and great commuting options.

Denenchofu, located in Ota Ward, is known as Tokyo's "garden suburb" for its beautiful tree-lined streets, modeled on those of London. The architecture of Denenchofu is also unique in Tokyo because many of the single-family homes built here were inspired by neoclassical Western architecture. It has a reputation for being an enclave for the well-to-do, politicians, and celebrities of Japan, but its sophisticated and calm atmosphere also make it attractive for foreign residents who want these qualities in a residential neighborhood.
