I’m moving in with my partner and am looking trying to find a compromise for an area. My needs are somewhere with some nature to run (either park or water), and he wants an area with lots of restaurants and easyish access to the city (he’s moving out of Gakugeidaigaku).
Our current thoughts are Kichijoji or Futakotamagawa. An apartment also came up east of Shinagawa recently which I never would have gone for, but when I looked around on Google Maps, there did seem to be some nice waterside paths.
Other options would be somewhere near Komazawa Park (although it looks quite concrete) or Kinuta Park (which looks nice and green)? Or maybe something up north for access to Arakawa? Tbh it needs to be a proper river. I used to live in Gotanda and the Meguro river didn’t cut it.
We work hybrid and go in about twice a week (nihonbashi/tamachi).
Any tips, or resources much appreciated!
