Sengakuji for Students and Young Adults

For students and younger professionals, Sengakuji's key advantage is the ability to combine the Asakusa and Keikyu lines with JR services at Takanawa Gateway. Mita, Shinagawa, Shimbashi, Nihombashi and Asakusa are readily accessible, as is Haneda Airport. Historically, this was not a conventional student district; temples, residences and offices dominated the local mix. Takanawa Gateway development is now adding shopping, cultural programming, events and fitness facilities. JR East material for Jexer Takanawa, for example, identifies Sengakuji as one of its nearest stations. Housing remains central-Tokyo housing, so students should compare rent with usable floor area, initial costs, building age and total commuting time. The neighborhood may therefore suit people who prioritize transport and a relatively calm home environment over the atmosphere of a traditional university-centered district. ([JREメディア][11])
