What is considered a "good" distance to all the specific areas ?

Question

I'm an incoming exchange student and I got an appartment in Southern Bunkyo, but then I realized that Tokyo is a huge city, since i'm :

17 min away from the Ikebukuro station

29 min away from the Shinjuku station

32 min away from the Shibuya station

26 min away from the Akihabara station

39 min away from the Roppongi station.

(according to google maps)

Is it considered a good distance for Tokyo? or not the best? I have no idea lol, i'm just curious anyways

if that can help, the closest metro lines I have are the Yurakucho Line and the Marunouchi Line !

southern bunkyo is a solid pick honestly. the yurakucho line is underrated for getting to yurakucho itself which is right next to ginza, great for shopping or just wandering. 17 min to ikebukuro is clutch cause that station is a maze but has everything from cheap eats to anime stuff in sunshine city

one thing nobody mentioned is that your commute to class matters more than those random station times. if you're going to univ of tokyo or somewhere near hongo, you're probably walking distance or a short bus ride. that's way more important than how long it takes to get to roppongi for a night out

also 29 min to shinjuku is basically nothing on the marunouchi line, that train runs frequent so you're never waiting long. the only station that might feel annoying is roppongi but honestly you'll prob end up going to shibuya or shinjuku more anyway

those times are totally fine honestly. the yurakucho line is clutch for getting to tsukiji or tokyo station quick, and the marunouchi line drops you right at shinjuku without transfers. bunkyo is underrated too, you're walking distance to the university area which means cheap eats around hongo, and myogadani station has that little alley with a killer yakitori spot that's always packed with students. 39 min to roppongi is the only one that might feel long, but you'll probably end up there less often than you think

honestly those times are totally fine for Tokyo. 17 min to Ikebukuro is actually pretty good, that's a major hub and you can get almost anywhere from there. your closest lines are solid too, the Marunouchi Line goes straight through Shinjuku and the Yurakucho Line connects to a bunch of stuff

the thing is people here measure distance in time not kilometers, and anything under 30 min to a major station is considered normal. 39 min to Roppongi is a bit of a hike but you'll prob only go there for nightlife or the museums. Bunkyo itself is nice and quiet, close to Ueno park and some good ramen spots around Myogadani station if you're near there

just fyi google maps times can be a little optimistic, add like 5 min for walking and transfers. but yeah you're good, welcome to Tokyo

Yeah those times are pretty standard for Tokyo, you're not going to find much closer unless you're paying a lot more or living in a tiny shoebox. Southern Bunkyo is a good spot actually, quiet residential area but you're near the Yurakucho Line which gets you to Shinjuku in one go. Plus you're close to Tokyo Dome and the Koishikawa Korakuen garden, which is a nice place to wander when you need a break from the crowds.
