Wakeijuku's most attractive point is easily its location. Set in the spacious grounds of a former feudal lord's mansion, Wakeijuku boasts one of the most exclusive and desirable addresses in central Tokyo. Residents simultaneously enjoy convenient access to such major centers of Tokyo as Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Ginza, Shibuya, Takadanobaba, and Yurakucho while living in a reclusive natural setting. In contrast to the staggering metropolis of skyscrapers and concrete that is Tokyo, Wakeijuku's grounds contain an abundance of gardens and trees, providing residents a much needed place to recover from the often hectic pace of postmodern life. The Wakeijuku grounds also have tennis, basketball, and soccer facilities and the institution is less than a five-minute walk from two public parks, where one can go for a quiet stroll, picnic with a boxed bento lunch, or just watch the golden carp swimming in the nearby Kanda river.
