Safety and Disaster Preparedness Around Tameike-sanno
Map & surroundings
The Akasaka portion of the Tameike-sanno area falls under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department's Akasaka Police Station at Akasaka 4-18-19. The police publish jurisdictional incident, accident and crime-map information. Government offices, embassies, hotels and large office buildings generate substantial weekday daytime activity, while some business-oriented streets become quieter at night or on weekends. No single current official crime rate was identified for the exact station walking radius, so broad claims that the entire area is simply safe or dangerous should be avoided. Minato's disaster plan designates Akasaka 1-9 chome as a district where residents generally do not need to evacuate to a large-area refuge solely because of spreading fire. Local assembly points include locations near Tameike intersection and Akasaka Intercity. This does not mean that disaster risk is absent. Property-level checks should cover seismic performance, power loss, elevator outages, stranded-commuter planning and possible flooding of underground spaces.
