Living experience review of Kitasando / Fukutoshin line

Overview

Safe and quiet area. also very convenient as you can use Fukutoshin line and Yamanote line. I think the area is good for both single and family. If you like walking, it is easy to walk to Shinjuku and Harajuku.

Also it is near the national stadium, meiji jingu and takeshita street.

Describe your favorite shops, restaurants, parks etc. in this area

OK store is a cheap supermarket but sometimes I go to Seijoishi. Both are near the station.

There are some nice cafes. The Deck coffee & Pis is my favorite.

Of course going Yoyogi park is always good.

What I don’t like this area

I don’t have any complain about this area. Definitely I can recommend to live.

Other things I would like to mention

I guess this area is one of the most convenient area as you can go to shinjuku, shibuya, ikebukuro directly by fukutoshin line. I miss that area and I was happy to spend most of my Japan life there.
