Schools and Education Around Shirokanedai

Shirokanedai contains Minato Municipal Shirokane Elementary School as well as a number of public, private and higher-education institutions. Under Minato City's catchment table effective from April 2025, Shirokanedai 1-3 chome, blocks 1-5 and 7-19 of 4-chome, and blocks 13-25 of 5-chome are assigned to Shirokane Elementary School. Block 6 and block 20 of 4-chome, together with blocks 1-12 of 5-chome, are assigned to Shirokanenooka Gakuen Shirokanenooka Elementary School. The assigned school can therefore change within the same Shirokanedai neighborhood depending on the exact block. The wider area also includes institutions such as Meiji Gakuin University and the University of Tokyo's Institute of Medical Science. Minato City operates a limited school-choice system, but capacity restrictions can apply and admission outside the assigned catchment is not guaranteed. Families should confirm the latest rules with the Board of Education using the complete property address before signing a lease or purchase contract. ([港区公式ホームページ][2])
