Mejiro's old-money elegance, Ikebukuro's urban energy, and Zoshigaya's historic streets
Toshima-ku is one of Tokyo's most underappreciated residential wards. Mejiro — home to Gakushuin University and a legacy of Japan's aristocratic families — represents some of Tokyo's most quietly prestigious real estate. The ward's position between Shinjuku and Ikebukuro gives it exceptional transport connectivity.
