Geography

The Aobadai district borders Shinsenchō, Nanpeidaichō, Hachiyamachō, and Sarugakuchō on the north across Kyūyamate Dōri Avenue; Kamimeguro on the south; and Higashiyama, Ōhashi, Komaba on the west and northwest across Yamate Dōri Avenue.
A hillside neighborhood in Aobadai 2-chōme is known as Saigōyama, literally meaning "Saigō Mountain." It was named so because Saigō Tsugumichi, a Meiji-period politician and a younger brother of Saigō Takamori, owned a mansion there. The mansion was moved to the Meiji Mura museum in Inuyama, Aichi for preservation, and the site where Saigō's house existed is home to Saigōyama Park and Sugekari Park.
