Bancho Area: A Verdant Residential Area with a time-honored history

■Bancho area property listings

Tranquil, luxurious and located steps from the Imperial Palace, Bancho area is one of Tokyo’s most desirable residential quarters. In the spring, parks adjacent to the Palace, such as Chidorigafuchi Park and Kitanomaru Park, burst forth in a riot of cherry blossoms. A number of embassies are located here, along with churches and mission schools, imparting a distinctly cosmopolitan air. The great number of schools that serve Bancho complete its profile as a cultural and educational district.

Bancho residents are spoiled for commuting access, with Yotsuya Station, Ichigaya Station, Hanzomon Station and Kojimachi Station all nearby. These stations afford unbeatable access to the government-agency quarters of Kasumigaseki and Nagatacho, the busiest hubs of Marunouchi and Otemachi, and the retail paradises of Shinjuku and Ginza.

Once exclusively a neighborhood of villas, today Bancho area is lined shoulder-to-shoulder with luxury condominium developments. Convenient supermarkets and refreshing parks provide plenty of shopping and green spaces to enjoy. And as if that weren’t enough, the former site of the British Embassy is slated for redevelopment, attracting avid interest.
