Parking by our house

The road that we are situated on runs adjacent to Gaien Nishi Dori (running alongside the park), and is a one way street. By car, access to the road that our building is housed on can only be gained via Meguro Dori. You must approach the road from the Meguro side, pass the huge Nature Park and take the left hand side turning at a traffic light that is for ‘Shiroganedai, 5 Chome’. Drive passed big white building on your left, about 200 meters, and just BEFORE the road begins to turn around to your right, park anywhere. There are taxis here and many spaces to park in the day. Parking is for 5 minutes ONLY please!

NB-You cannot turn right into our road from Meguro Dori (as you would if you approach from the Shiroganedai Station area) as it is illegal to cross traffic here.

Parking on Gaien Nishi Dori

You can approach Gaien Nishi Dori from either direction, and park for a short stay. The road is wide, easily accessible and many cars park here for short periods. I would advise that parents try to park on the side of the road OPPOSITE Blue Point Restaurant (our side) as this road is busy and crossing can take a little time.
