class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Keio Line is the main line of Keio Corporation. It starts underground at Shinjuku and runs west through Shibuya-ku, Setagaya, Chofu, Fuchu and Hino to Hachioji. The whole line stays inside Tokyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Renters choose Keio Line apartments for three main reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fast trains to Shinjuku from far out.<\/strong> Special express trains stop at only a few stations. Chofu is about 15 to 18 minutes from Shinjuku, and Fuchu about 20 to 23 minutes. That is quick for stations 15 to 22 km out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Two lines meet at Meidaimae.<\/strong> The Inokashira Line crosses the Keio Line at Meidaimae. From there, express trains reach Shibuya in about 6 to 9 minutes. One home can serve both Shinjuku and Shibuya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A student line.<\/strong> Meidaimae is the closest station to Meiji University&#8217;s Izumi Campus, and the University of Electro-Communications is a short walk from Chofu. Tokyo University of Foreign Studies is a bus ride from Tobitakyu. The University of Tokyo&#8217;s Komaba Campus is on the Inokashira Line.<\/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\/Keio-Line-apartments-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7941\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Keio-Line-apartments-1.webp 800w, https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Keio-Line-apartments-1-300x150.webp 300w, https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Keio-Line-apartments-1-768x384.webp 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Peaceful neighborhood along the Keio Line<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keio_Line_Rent_by_Station_2026\"><\/span>Keio Line Rent by Station (2026)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The table lists every Keio Line station from Shinjuku to Keio-Hachioji.
