Living experience review of Gotanda / Yamanote line & Asakusa line & Ikegami line

Overview

Where I live is around between Gotanda and Takanawadai.
Most of time, I took a train from Gotanda station. There are many shops and restaurants around the station and very convenient.

Around the station, it usually busy but my place is so quiet and it is a nice neighborhood. Nice and big houses are around my place.

We can use 3 lines from Gotanda station which are Yamanote line, Asakusa line and Ikegami line. Mainly we use Yamanote line and sometimes Asakusa line but we have never used Ikegami line. Yamanote line is useful as it stops main stations in Tokyo.

We have lived this area for 3 years and we like this it.
