Local guide

01First impressions

Kokusai-Tenjijo Station on the Rinkai Line sits on the southern edge of this neighbourhood, with Ariake Garden to the north as you come out and Ariake Tennis Park to the west. Over in 1-chome are residential towers such as City Tower Ariake and the Brillia Ariake buildings, with big event venues like Ariake Arena and GYM-EX in between. The Shuto Expressway Bayshore Route runs along the south side, and Tokyo Big Sight and the warehouse district beyond it are not part of this neighbourhood.

02What works

In our street photos, cleanliness ranks 1st among Tokyo's 155 neighbourhoods, and building condition is also 1st. Ariake Tennis Park is free to enter, with 49 courts plus lawns and a jogging course. Ariake Garden has AEON Style on the ground floor, a clinic area covering 7 specialties on the same floor, and a lawn plaza on the east side that is open to local residents. Since April 2026, Ariake Shinsui Kaihin Park in 1-chome has had its beach open.

03Heads-up

Daily shopping ranks 155th, the last place; clinics and pharmacies rank 154th. Both measure how far each block is from the nearest shop or clinic: the neighbourhood covers 121 hectares, and AEON Style and the clinic area are both inside Ariake Garden in 2-chome, so blocks at the far end of 1-chome have quite a walk. Public transport ranks 147th. On days with big events at Big Sight or Ariake Arena, Kokusai-Tenjijo Station gets extremely crowded.

04A bit of history

In the early 1960s, part of Landfill No. 10 was named Fukagawa Ariake-cho; "ariake" means the moon still hanging in the sky at dawn. The name was also chosen to pair with neighbouring Shinonome. The land was reclaimed under a ten-year Tokyo Port construction plan begun in 1931 and was mainly industrial until the 1980s, at one point also home to the Shinonome Airfield and Shinonome Golf Course, which despite their names were here in Ariake. The old golf course site became Ariake Tennis Park in 1983. Ariake Garden was due to open in April 2020 but was pushed back to June that year by the pandemic.

How are these measured?

Compared against the Tokyo neighbourhoods in this guide; metrics without enough data are not ranked. Shopping counts convenience stores plus the nearer of a supermarket or a traditional market (public and private retail markets); night markets, vendor zones and shopping-street shops are not counted. Transit is rail-first with a lower weight for buses.

TidyMap rates the street environment and everyday convenience. It does not assess the home itself, safety, noise or actual living experience. About data limits
