The property is located in the vibrant and historically significant Yotsuya area of Shinjuku. An interesting local fact is that the area was once home to one of the Edo period's major execution grounds, which later became the site of a prison and is now a peaceful residential and commercial district. The closest major landmark is the impressive Meiji Jingu Shrine, a vast Shinto shrine dedicated to the spirits of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, located just a few stations away in Shibuya Ward and offering a serene forested escape from the urban bustle.
