Aobadai (青葉台) is a district located in the northern portion of Meguro, Tokyo, Japan, which consists of 1 to 4-chōme. As of October 1, 2020, it has a total population of 8,362.

Geography

The Aobadai district borders Shinsenchō, Nanpeidaichō, Hachiyamachō, and Sarugakuchō on the north across Kyūyamate Dōri Avenue (旧山手通り); Kamimeguro on the south; and Higashiyama, Ōhashi, Komaba on the west and northwest across Yamate Dōri Avenue (山手通り).

A hillside neighborhood in Aobadai 2-chōme is known as Saigōyama (西郷山), 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 (西郷山公園) and Sugekari Park (菅刈公園).[2]
