The Tokyu Toyoko Line links Shibuya and Yokohama in about 27 minutes by limited express. Rent is highest at the Tokyo end, from Shibuya to Jiyugaoka. It drops sharply once you cross the Tama River into Kanagawa. For most foreign renters, the best value is between Motosumiyoshi and Kikuna, where a studio costs about \u00a570,000 to \u00a594,000 and Shibuya is still 20 to 25 minutes away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Tokyu Toyoko Line is one of the most popular commuter lines in greater Tokyo. Its name joins the first characters of Tokyo (\u6771\u4eac) and Yokohama (\u6a2a\u6d5c). Tokyu itself describes the line as home to upscale areas like Den-en-chofu, Jiyugaoka and Daikanyama, plus schools such as Keio University and Kanagawa University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are three reasons foreigners like Toyoko Line apartments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>One line, two big cities.<\/strong> Most Tokyo commuter lines only flow toward Tokyo. The Toyoko Line has strong traffic in both directions, because people work in Shibuya and in Yokohama. If you or your partner works in Yokohama, this line lets you live in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Direct trains far beyond Shibuya.<\/strong> Since 2013, most trains continue past Shibuya onto the Fukutoshin Line. You can ride without changing to Shinjuku-sanchome and Ikebukuro. At the south end, trains continue onto the Minatomirai Line to Minato Mirai and Motomachi-Chukagai. A branch from Hiyoshi also runs direct to Shin-Yokohama, where you can board the Shinkansen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A clear price drop across the river.<\/strong> The Tama River is the border between Tokyo and Kanagawa. Musashi-Kosugi, the first big hub in Kanagawa, is about 14 minutes from Shibuya by limited express. Yet a studio there costs about \u00a545,000 less than in Nakameguro and \u00a556,000 less than in Daikanyama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The line opened its first section in 1926, so the neighborhoods along it are mature. Most stations have a shopping street, a supermarket and quiet housing within a few minutes&#8217; walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Toyoko-Line-apartments-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7905\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Toyoko-Line-apartments-1.webp 800w, https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Toyoko-Line-apartments-1-300x150.webp 300w, https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Toyoko-Line-apartments-1-768x384.webp 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lively shopping street along Toyoko Line<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Toyoko_Line_Rent_by_Station_2026\"><\/span>Toyoko Line Rent by Station (2026)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The table below lists all 21 stations from north to south. &#8220;Fastest stop&#8221; shows the fastest train that stops there.

Distances from Tokyu Corporation data. Hiyoshi is also served by the weekday commuter limited express.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few patterns stand out. The six Meguro-ku stations all sit above \u00a5125,000. Den-en-chofu is cheaper for studios than you might expect, even though it is famous as an upscale area. On the Kanagawa side, Hiyoshi and Kikuna are the best deals among the busier stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Toyoko_Line_Neighborhoods_Section_by_Section\"><\/span>Toyoko Line Neighborhoods, Section by Section<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shibuya_to_Yutenji_the_premium_end\"><\/span>Shibuya to Yutenji: the premium end<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shibuya is the line&#8217;s northern terminal. It connects to the Yamanote, Ginza, Hanzomon and Den-en-toshi lines. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/shibuya-station-train-lines-commuter-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shibuya Station train lines guide<\/a> explains all nine lines in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daikanyama is a small, stylish area of boutiques and cafes, but only local trains stop there. Nakameguro is famous for the cherry trees along the Meguro River. It is also a transfer point for the Hibiya Line to Ebisu, Roppongi and Ginza. Read our <a href=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/nakameguro-neighborhood-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nakameguro neighborhood guide<\/a> for streets, rent and daily life. Yutenji is quieter and about \u00a520,000 cheaper than Nakameguro, though it is still a local-only stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gakugei-daigaku_to_Jiyugaoka_the_residential_heart\"><\/span>Gakugei-daigaku to Jiyugaoka: the residential heart<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gakugei-daigaku and Toritsu-daigaku are named after universities that are no longer there. Tokyo Gakugei University moved to Koganei in 1964, and Tokyo Metropolitan University is now based in Hachioji. Today both are calm, walkable towns with long shopping streets. Gakugei-daigaku has the advantage of express service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jiyugaoka is a shopping and dessert hub with a European feel. Limited express trains stop here, and the Oimachi Line crosses the station. Shibuya is about 9 minutes away. Rent is high for the area, so many people live one or two stops north and shop in Jiyugaoka on weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Den-en-chofu_and_Tamagawa_green_and_quiet\"><\/span>Den-en-chofu and Tamagawa: green and quiet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Den-en-chofu is one of Tokyo&#8217;s most famous upscale neighborhoods, with tree-lined streets that fan out from the station. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/den-en-chofu-neighborhood-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Den-en-chofu neighborhood guide<\/a> covers the area in depth. Tamagawa sits right by the Tama River, between two large parks. From Den-en-chofu to Hiyoshi, the Tokyu Meguro Line runs alongside the Toyoko Line. That gives you a second route to Meguro and the Namboku and Mita subway lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shin-maruko_to_Motosumiyoshi_Kawasakis_high-rise_hub\"><\/span>Shin-maruko to Motosumiyoshi: Kawasaki&#8217;s high-rise hub<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you cross the river, you are in Kawasaki. Musashi-Kosugi is the big hub here, with tower apartments and shopping malls. Limited express trains reach Shibuya in about 14 minutes. The station also has JR lines to Shinagawa, Tokyo, Yokohama and Narita Airport. Shin-maruko is a walk away and has an older, local feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Motosumiyoshi is a favorite of young workers. Right outside the west exit is Bremen-dori, a cobblestone shopping street with about 138 shops. Studios cost about \u00a515,000 less than at Musashi-Kosugi. For more on this city, see our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/kawasaki-apartments-for-rent-foreigners-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kawasaki apartments for rent<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hiyoshi_to_Kikuna_student_towns_and_value_picks\"><\/span>Hiyoshi to Kikuna: student towns and value picks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hiyoshi is home to Keio University&#8217;s Hiyoshi Campus, just one minute from the station. Rent is low for such a busy stop, at about \u00a572,900. Note that daytime limited express trains skip Hiyoshi, so take the express (about 20 minutes to Shibuya). Hiyoshi is also where some trains branch off to Shin-Yokohama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tsunashima and Okurayama are quiet family areas with hills and plum gardens. Kikuna is the line&#8217;s best value. It is a limited express stop with the cheapest studio average on the line. The JR Yokohama Line here takes you one stop to Shin-Yokohama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myorenji_to_Yokohama_the_Yokohama_approach\"><\/span>Myorenji to Yokohama: the Yokohama approach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Myorenji, Hakuraku and Higashi-hakuraku are low-key local stops just north of Yokohama. Hakuraku has the lively Rokkakubashi shopping street and is about a 13-minute walk from Kanagawa University&#8217;s Yokohama Campus. Tammachi is a short ride from Yokohama Station. Yokohama itself is a huge hub with JR, Keikyu, Sotetsu and subway lines.

Musashi-Kosugi is a limited express stop, about 14 minutes from Shibuya, with studios near \u00a5106,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Couples_working_in_Tokyo_and_Yokohama_Musashi-Kosugi_or_Kikuna\"><\/span>Couples working in Tokyo and Yokohama: Musashi-Kosugi or Kikuna<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both are limited express stops in the middle of the line. Kikuna is the cheaper of the two and adds the JR Yokohama Line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Students_Hiyoshi_or_Motosumiyoshi\"><\/span>Students: Hiyoshi or Motosumiyoshi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hiyoshi puts you next to Keio&#8217;s campus for about \u00a572,900. Motosumiyoshi is one stop closer to Tokyo and has more shops and nightlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Families_Den-en-chofu_Tamagawa_or_Tsunashima\"><\/span>Families: Den-en-chofu, Tamagawa or Tsunashima<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These areas are green and quiet, with large parks nearby. Of the three, Tsunashima has the lowest rent level and is an express stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lowest_budget_Kikuna_Hiyoshi_or_Myorenji\"><\/span>Lowest budget: Kikuna, Hiyoshi or Myorenji<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can find studios for about \u00a570,000 to \u00a574,000. Kikuna is a limited express stop and Hiyoshi is an express stop, so low rent does not have to mean a slow commute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Toyoko_Line_vs_Den-en-toshi_Line_Which_Is_Better\"><\/span>Toyoko Line vs Den-en-toshi Line: Which Is Better?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Tokyu lines start at Shibuya and run southwest into Kanagawa. The right choice depends on where you work. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/den-en-toshi-line-apartments-for-rent-foreigners-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Den-en-toshi Line apartments guide<\/a> covers the other line in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><\/th><th>Toyoko Line<\/th><th>Den-en-toshi Line<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Ends at<\/td><td>Yokohama<\/td><td>Chuo-Rinkan (Yamato)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Through service past Shibuya<\/td><td>Fukutoshin Line to Shinjuku-sanchome and Ikebukuro<\/td><td>Hanzomon Line to Otemachi and Oshiage<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Best for<\/td><td>Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro or Yokohama workers<\/td><td>Otemachi, Aoyama or Kudanshita workers<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Feel<\/td><td>Trendy towns, then Yokohama suburbs<\/td><td>Quiet planned suburbs in the west<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you need to reach Yokohama, the Toyoko Line is the clear pick. If you work around Otemachi or Kudanshita, the Den-en-toshi Line saves a transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_the_Downsides_of_Toyoko_Line_Apartments\"><\/span>What Are the Downsides of Toyoko Line Apartments?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Crowded rush hours.<\/strong> Traffic flows both ways, so trains are busy in the morning and evening. Some weekday trains offer Q SEAT, a paid reserved-seat car, if you want a guaranteed seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Local-only stops.<\/strong> Daikanyama, Yutenji, Toritsu-daigaku and several Yokohama stops get only local trains. Check the timetable before you sign a lease far from an express stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Delays spread widely.<\/strong> Because the line runs through to many other railways, a problem in one place can affect the whole route. In March 2026, a power line fault on the Minatomirai Line stopped Toyoko trains for about nine and a half hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>High rent at the Tokyo end.<\/strong> Studios from Shibuya to Jiyugaoka cost \u00a5128,000 or more. If your budget is under \u00a5100,000, start your search in Kanagawa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Rent_a_Toyoko_Line_Apartment_as_a_Foreigner\"><\/span>How to Rent a Toyoko Line Apartment as a Foreigner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Set your budget.<\/strong> Plan for rent plus about four to six months of rent in move-in costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pick two or three stations.<\/strong> Use the table above and compare travel time to your office or school.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check walking time.<\/strong> Many listings are 10 to 15 minutes from the station.

Prices are highest at Shibuya, Daikanyama and Nakameguro, and lowest at Kikuna, Hiyoshi and Myorenji.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1793073716645\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the cheapest station on the Toyoko Line?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Kikuna has the lowest average studio rent, at about \u00a570,000. It is also a limited express stop, which makes it the best value on the line.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1793073722493\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How long does the Toyoko Line take from Shibuya to Yokohama?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">About 27 minutes by limited express. Local trains take longer because they stop at all 21 stations.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1793073729313\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is the Toyoko Line good for foreigners?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. The line gives direct access to both Tokyo and Yokohama, and trains run through to Shinjuku-sanchome and Ikebukuro without a transfer. Stations in Kanagawa, such as Musashi-Kosugi and Hiyoshi, also offer studios far below central Tokyo rent.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1793073740159\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Does the Toyoko Line go to Shin-Yokohama?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Some express trains branch off at Hiyoshi and run direct to Shin-Yokohama, where you can board the Tokaido Shinkansen. You can also change at Kikuna for the JR Yokohama Line.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1793073747395\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which is better, Musashi-Kosugi or Nakameguro?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Nakameguro has more character and a short ride to Shibuya, but studios cost about \u00a5151,000. Musashi-Kosugi costs about \u00a545,000 less and has more train lines, though it feels more like a new high-rise town.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Toyoko-Line-apartments-3.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7907\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Toyoko-Line-apartments-3.webp 800w, https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Toyoko-Line-apartments-3-300x150.webp 300w, https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Toyoko-Line-apartments-3-768x384.webp 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Quiet residential street near Toyoko Line<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find_Toyoko_Line_Apartments_with_Arealty\"><\/span>Find Toyoko Line Apartments with Arealty<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arealty lists apartments along the whole Toyoko Line, from Meguro to Yokohama.
