Hi! I'm moving to Tokyo for one year with work in April and am looking to learn more about an area I'm interested in living in. Work is giving me a stipend to choose my apartment, so I'm looking at an expat-friendly agency that provides furnished units.
Currently, I've chosen the Nishi-Koyama/Musashi-Koyama area. The apartment seems to have the best balance of location, size, and price. I like that I can take the train to my office in Tamachi without having to transfer, and that Nakameguro looks easily accessible.
I am looking for more information on the Koyama neighborhood, like its vibe, things to do, etc. I'm an American in my early 30s, so I'm looking for the ability to easily visit bars after work or on the weekend but not live in a big party area.
Is anyone familiar with the area that can provide insight into what it's like?
