The Hatagaya area has excellent access to shopping, supermarkets, gyms, great restaurants and nightlife, including many Japanese Izakaya’s. There are many local cafes open until late at night. Several convenience stores, 100-yen shops and an interesting variety of small stores and shops are all located in or around Hatagaya Station.

Yoyogi Park (one of the largest in Tokyo) and Meiji Jingo Shrine are bike distance. The New National Theater (ballet, dance and opera) and Park Hyatt Tokyo (where Lost In Translation was filmed) are also located in this area. Hatagaya is part of Shibuya Ku, even though it is located just 4 minutes from Shinjuku. 

Shinjuku Station, one of the main 3 transit hubs for all of Tokyo, has the largest number of connections to all major train and bus lines, as well as both international airports.
