Office street before the Daimon, the great gate of Zojoji, where September brings an eleven-day Dara-dara Festival
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Shiba Daijingu's festival in September runs from the 11th to the 21st, and because it drags on for so long, it has long been called the Dara-dara Matsuri, meaning the "Dragging-On Festival". During the festival the shrine gives out ginger, so it's also called the Shoga Matsuri, the "Ginger Festival". The neighborhood name Shiba Daimon and the station name Daimon both come from Zojoji's former main gate, the Daimon.
Hamamatsucho 1-chome and 2-chome are mostly commercial and office areas surrounding Daimon Station, with housing squeezed between the buildings. About half of the residents live in Shiba 2-chome and 3-chome, each of which is home to about 3,600 people at night.
In 2020, this neighborhood had 84,497 people during the day, but only 14,273 living there at night. The residents skew young, with people aged 25 to 39 making up about 30%, higher than Minato City's overall 23%. About two-thirds of households in this neighborhood are single-person households.
Out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, the overall score ranks 14th, the highest ranking of any category for this neighborhood. Daimon Station is where the Toei Asakusa Line and the Oedo Line meet, and transit ranks 17th.
The Minato City Office is also in the neighborhood, in Shiba Koen 1-chome, about a 5-minute walk from Exit A6 of Daimon Station. Healthcare ranks 24th.
This area is mostly offices, and in 2020 about 161 people lived per hectare. Even fewer people live in Hamamatsucho 2-chome and Shiba Daimon 1-chome. Hamamatsucho 2-chome has 11,355 people during the day but only 238 at night; Shiba Daimon 1-chome also has only 600 people at night.
JR Hamamatsucho Station is outside the neighborhood, in Kaigan 1-chome. Based on our street photos, greenery ranks 167th, the lowest ranking of any category for this neighborhood.
In 1598, Tokugawa Ieyasu moved Zojoji to Shiba, and Shiba Daijingu also relocated from its original site to its current location. The Tokyo air raids of May 1945 burned down Shiba Daijingu, and its main hall was rebuilt and completed in 1964.
Zojoji's Daimon gate has also changed identity: the current gate is a concrete structure 5.25 meters tall, rebuilt in 1937 with funds raised by the City of Tokyo. In 2016, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government transferred it to Zojoji free of charge.
The World Trade Center Building in Hamamatsucho 2-chome is being rebuilt; the South Tower opened first in 2021, and the main building and air terminal are scheduled to open in stages starting in 2027. The free shuttle bus for this area is scheduled to begin official operation in spring 2027.

TidyMap rates the street environment and everyday convenience. It does not assess the home itself, safety, noise or actual living experience. Street environment scores use AI assessments of imagery; convenience scores use public facility data.
