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 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’. We are the large white building. You cannot park anywhere on the road, by law. Enrolled families can make arrangements with us to collect their child rapidly from their car, at fixed drop-off and collection times.

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.

Pay Car Parks

There are pay car parks near the school and parents must leave their car in coin parking if visiting us. Please kindly use Google maps etc. to locate parking and allow extra time before your visit, in case they are full.
