Omotesandō Station is the transportation hub of the Minami-Aoyama / Jingū-mae area, where Tokyo Metro’s Ginza, Chiyoda, and Hanzōmon lines intersect. Located directly beneath the Omotesandō intersection that links Harajuku and Shibuya, the surroundings are lined with high-end brands such as Louis Vuitton and GYRE. While the station serves more than 240 000 passengers per day on average (FY 2024, Tokyo Metro), studio rents typically exceed ¥160.000.
Accordingly, this article offers a comprehensive list of stations that reach Omotesandō in 20 minutes or less during off-peak daytime, with zero or one transfer, while avoiding the entire interior of the Yamanote Line.
(1) No transfers
(2) One transfer
For each station we provide travel time, neighborhood outline, share-house example, and resident reviews.
Direct services: Tokyo Metro Hanzōmon Line (through service via Tōkyū Den-en-Toshi Line) / Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line
One-transfer routes: Tōkyū Tōyoko Line → Shibuya (transfer to Ginza Line) / Odakyū Odawara Line → Yoyogi-Uehara (transfer to Chiyoda Line) / Keiō Inokashira Line → Shibuya (transfer to Ginza Line)
* The Ginza Line alone has no stations that reach the Yamanote Line’s outer area within 20 minutes, so the “direct” section is omitted.
West of Shibuya the line runs seamlessly onto the Den-en-Toshi Line; east of Shibuya it extends through Ōtemachi to Sumida Ward. Seven stations outside the Yamanote Line fall within a 20-minute ride.

For direct 20-minute access, only the Hanzōmon Line (Den-en-Toshi through section) and Chiyoda Line’s Yoyogi-kōen / Yoyogi-Uehara qualify. If you seek balanced rent and convenience, target Sangen-jaya, Yoga, Suitengū-mae, or Kiyosumi-shirakawa.
Allowing one transfer brings in the Tōyoko Line (Naka-Meguro–Tōritsudaigaku), Odakyū Line (Setagaya-daita–Umegaoka), and Inokashira Line (Ikenoue–Shindaita), giving 7–19-minute commutes.
Choose Futakotamagawa or Naka-Meguro for shopping and dining, Shimokitazawa for culture, and Yoyogi-kōen or Ikenoue for quiet residential living.
