Surrounding area

Mejiro is one of the Yamanote Line's smaller stations, situated between the bustling Ikebukuro and the relatively quiet Takadanobaba.

Mejiro Station has only a single exit. The ticket gate emerges onto Mejiro-dori with the co-ed campus of Gakushuin University and the Mejiro Elementary School to the right, and to the left a busy row of shops and restaurants. Just off Mejiro-dori, the wealthy area becomes residential and quite peaceful. The streets to the west, away from the Yamanote loop, feature a mix of typical apartment buildings spanning a few decades, and some very opulent designer houses with luxury vehicles in their garages.

By looking straight ahead from Mejiro Station's main exit, one can see well into the distance toward Ikebukuro's monument-like garbage processing center and the towering Sunshine 60 building.

When inside Mejiro Station, if you stand at the southernmost part, you can see Takadanobaba Station.
