Living in Hamamatsucho for Women
Map & surroundings
Hamamatsucho's Yamanote, Keihin-Tohoku and Tokyo Monorail services, together with the Asakusa and Oedo lines at nearby Daimon, give central Tokyo workers several commuting and return-home options. Convenience stores, pharmacies and restaurants are also numerous near the station. However, as a strongly business-oriented district, some streets that are crowded during weekday working hours can become much quieter at night or on weekends. Routes toward Kaigan, Takeshiba and active construction areas should therefore be inspected after dark. Anyone living alone should consider lighting, proximity to major roads and police facilities, auto-lock access, management presence, security cameras and elevator controls. Minato City's Gender Equality Center, known as Libra, is located in Minato Park Shibaura at Shibaura 1-chome and serves as a base for equality-related services and programs. A specific property's route and security arrangements are more informative than the general image of the district.
