Living in Nogizaka as an International Resident

Nogizaka lies between Roppongi, Akasaka and Aoyama, areas with a significant international presence. Minato City provides interpreter-assisted three-way telephone support for a range of municipal procedures. Foreign-national children wishing to attend Minato City public schools must complete an enrollment procedure; guidance for April 2027 entrants instructs families to bring residence cards for both the child and guardian showing a Minato City address. The city also publishes information on medical institutions offering foreign-language support, including facilities in the Nogizaka area such as Sanno Hospital, although available languages and physicians may vary by day. The National Art Center provides multilingual information including English and Chinese. For housing, international residents should still verify landlord acceptance policies, required documentation and rent-guarantee-company requirements for each individual property.
