[edit] Around the Station

Mejiro is one of the Yamanote Line's smaller stations, an oasis situated between bustling Ikebukuro and relatively quiet Takadanobaba.

There are several small shops and a bakery/cafe within the station, making it a good meeting point for people unfamiliar with the Tokyo rail system.

Mejiro Station is somewhat rare in it possesses only a single exit. The ticket gate emerges onto Mejiro-dori with the co-ed campus of Gakushuin University and the Mejiro Elementary School to the right, and to the left a busy row of shops and restaurants. Just off Mejiro-dori, the area becomes residential and quite peaceful. The streets to the west, away from the Yamanote loop, feature a mix of typical apartment buildings spanning a few decades, and some very opulent designer houses with luxury vehicles in their garages.

By looking straight ahead from Mejiro Station's main exit, one can see well into the distance toward Ikebukuro's monument-like garbage processing center and the towering Sunshine 60 building.
