Comments from RISE Corp
Shirokanedai offers all types of rental properties from studio apartments to detached houses, but it is more popular among families because you can find some facilities which support families in Shirokanedai. Shirokanedai Donguri Jido Yuen is a park always bustling with children and business people spending their lunch time outside of the office.
Institute For Nature Study next to the park is to preserve the natural environment of Tokyo’s forests and marshlands. The grounds are used for research and education, although anyone may enjoy the park’s trails and natural beauty for a small fee.
IMSUT Hospital (Institute of Medical Science, University of Tokyo) is a general hospital right in front of Shirokanedai Station. The doctors speak English, and they offer internal medicine, surgery, pediatric hematology / oncology, radiology and urology without a referral.
