Start your new Life in a share house in Jiyugaoka, Tokyo

A New Life in Jiyugaoka

Tokyo’s Meguro Ward is home to Jiyugaoka, an upscale residential district that many women in Japan dream of calling home at least once in their lives.

The area is famous for its stylish boutiques, cozy cafes, and interior design shops lining its charming, walkable streets.

With around 1,300 shops and restaurants, Jiyugaoka is known as one of Japan’s most vibrant shopping neighborhoods, full of delightful discoveries down every side street.

You might turn a corner and suddenly find a cute little cafe or specialty shop tucked away, waiting to become your new favorite place.

On top of all the unique shops you can drop by depending on your mood, the area also has plenty of supermarkets and drugstores, making everyday shopping quick and convenient—even on your way home from work.

This balance of style and practicality is a big part of what makes daily life here so comfortable.

Because Jiyugaoka is a popular shopping district for women, the streets are well lit and feel bright and safe even at night.

That sense of security is one of the reasons Jiyugaoka continues to rank as one of Tokyo’s most desirable places to live.

You may even start to look forward to the question, “So, where do you live?”—because answering “Jiyugaoka” feels a little special.

In front of the station, a major redevelopment project is now underway, with a new mixed-use landmark building featuring commercial floors scheduled for completion in the fall of 2026.

As the project progresses, residents are excited to see Jiyugaoka become an even more comfortable and attractive place to live.

Start Direct Access to Central Tokyo and Yokohama. Your Ideal Tokyo Life Starts from Jiyugaoka

Jiyugaoka Station is a convenient hub served by two Tokyu lines: the Toyoko Line and the Oimachi Line.

All train types, including commuter limited express services, stop here, and through services on the Toyoko Line run directly onto the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line, giving you smooth access both to central Tokyo and to Yokohama.

From Jiyugaoka, you can reach many of Tokyo’s most popular areas without any transfers.
For example, it takes about 8 minutes to Shibuya, 11 minutes to Meiji-jingumae (Harajuku), 15 minutes to Shinjuku-sanchome, 18 minutes to Yokohama, 4 minutes to Futako-tamagawa, and about 25 minutes to Shin-Yokohama for Shinkansen connections, as well as direct access to Motomachi-Chukagai for sightseeing.

Other major districts such as Roppongi, Ginza, and Shinagawa are also within about 30 minutes with just one transfer.

Basing yourself in Jiyugaoka means you can easily enjoy both central Tokyo and the Yokohama area in your everyday life.

After work, you might stop by Shibuya to check out the latest trends, or spend an evening cafe-hopping in Daikanyama or Nakameguro.

On weekends, you could have lunch in Motomachi-Chukagai and then relax by the sea breeze in Yamashita Park.

This kind of lifestyle can become your everyday routine when you live here.
Excellent transport connections will greatly expand your range of activities and bring new discoveries and encounters into your daily life.

Start Smart with Lower Upfront Costs 
Simple, Transparent Pricing

When looking for a regular rental apartment in Japan, you may have faced questions like: “With key money, agent fees, and guarantor charges, how much do I actually need to pay upfront?” or “By the time I added everything up, the initial cost was several hundred thousand yen.” You might also worry about “paying renewal fees every two years, so maybe it’s not worth staying long-term.”

At Heart Share Jiyugaoka, the fee structure is simple and easy to understand, so you can start your new life with peace of mind. We focus on a clear, straightforward pricing system rather than the complicated costs often seen with traditional rental contracts.

When you sign a contract, the initial costs are limited to the security deposit, the first month’s rent and common service fee, and fire insurance.

There are no key money charges, no agent or contract handling fees, and no renewal fees at all.

This means that not only is it easier and more affordable to move in, but the longer you stay and enjoy living here, the more you benefit financially compared with a typical rental lease that requires renewal fees.
