Denenchofu is a low-rise residential neighborhood in western Ota-ku, Tokyo.<\/strong> Financier Eiichi Shibusawa built it in 1918 as Japan’s first planned “garden city.” Wide, tree-lined streets radiate out from the station in concentric circles. Large single-family homes line those streets, giving the area a reputation as one of Tokyo’s most prestigious addresses. Denenchofu Station connects directly to Shibuya and Meguro on the Tokyu Toyoko and Tokyu Meguro Lines. At A-Realty<\/strong>, renters often ask us about Denenchofu’s history and lifestyle.
