Sengakuji from a Women's Lifestyle Perspective

Residents can combine the Asakusa and Keikyu lines with JR services at Takanawa Gateway, providing multiple routes for central-Tokyo commuting and frequent Haneda travel. Retail and service options on the Gateway side have also expanded substantially. For women living alone, as for anyone concerned with nighttime mobility, the neighborhood label should not substitute for inspection of the actual route home. National Route 15 remains relatively active, while some temple and residential streets on the Takanawa and Mita side can become quiet at night. Hills are another practical consideration, particularly with luggage, strollers or footwear that makes steep routes less comfortable. Checking nighttime lighting, pedestrian traffic, open convenience stores, automatic locks, security cameras and visibility around the building entrance provides a more useful picture of day-to-day livability than station walking time alone.
