The former neighborhood of Shirokanedai (Shirokanedaimachi, 白金台町) consisted only of very narrow area along Meguro-dori (Tokyo Prefectural Route 312) and the former imperial estate called Shirokane Goryochi.
Located at the southwestern end of Minato, the neighborhood of Shirokanedai lies between Ebisu, Kamiōsaki and Higashigotanda on the west, Takanawa on the east, and Shirokane on the north.
Shopping amenities and apartment buildings are densely spread along Meguro-dori, Gaien Nishi-dori and Sakurada-dori; however, most in Shirokanedai are quiet residential areas.
Minato City Board of Education operates public elementary and junior high schools.
Shirokanedai 4-chōme 6-20-ban and 5-chōme 1-12-ban are zoned to Shirogane-no-oka Gakuen (白金の丘学園) for elementary and junior high school.
