Access
The nearest train stations are Minami Sunamachi Station (Metro Tozai Line), Oshima Station (Toei Shinjuku Line), and Nishi-Ojima Station (Toei Shinjuku Line), all of which take about 15 minutes on foot.
For this reason, we recommend taking the bus, but there are two nearest bus stops: Kitasuna 2-chome Bus Station and Kitasuna 7-chome Bus Station. Kitasuna 2-chome Bus Station runs from Kinshicho Station, Ryogoku Station, Kameido Station, Monzen-Nakacho Station, Shinkiba Station, etc., and Kitasuna 7-chome Bus Station runs from Kameido Station and Toyocho Station.
