The former site of Keio University's baseball ground, sold off as a residential area in 1939
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Chidoricho Station on the Ikegami Line began as a temporary station built for Keio University's Nitta athletic field, and its first name was taken from the field. After the athletic field moved to Hiyoshi, the Dojunkai rebuilt the site into a residential area, selling it in 1939 as the "Chofu Chidoricho Jutaku" housing. Now there's a post office, a Summit supermarket, and the city-run Chidori Elementary School in front of the station.
Aside from the area around the station, Chidori is mainly a residential area, with Ikegami-dori running east-west through it. Most of Kugahara sits on Kugahara-dai, at the tip of the Musashino Plateau, and is a quiet residential area.
This neighborhood covers Chidori 1- to 3-chome and Kugahara 5- and 6-chome; as of 2020 about 18,000 people lived there, roughly 212 per hectare.
Daily shopping ranks 108th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, near the top, and is the highest-ranking category here; there's a Summit supermarket right by the station. Medical care and pharmacies rank 117th, also near the top, with Tokyo Chidori Hospital in the neighborhood.
The neighboring stations on the Ikegami Line are Kugahara Station (about 0.9 km away) and Ikegami Station (about 1.1 km away); the up and down platforms each have their own ticket gate, so once you're inside you can't switch sides.
Of the 45 street-photo grid cells, only 12 are in Kugahara 5- and 6-chome, so the score mainly reflects Chidori 1- to 3-chome.
From our street photos, cleanliness ranks 264th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, in the middle range, and is the weakest category here.
TidyMap ran its own estimate, taking points roughly every 40 meters within the neighborhood on the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan's flood inundation hazard map. A little over half of the points fall within the projected flood zone, mostly in the 0.5-to-3-meter range, with none at 3 meters or more. Almost all of Chidori 2-chome is within the zone, versus only about 6% of Kugahara 6-chome.

From 1926, this was Keio's Nitta athletic field, and its baseball ground hosted Tokyo Big6 Baseball League games. In 1936 the station was renamed Chidoricho Station, after the then place name "Chofu Chidoricho," a name used until the 1968 residential address reform.
People lived in Kugahara even earlier: the Kugahara archaeological site, from the late Yayoi period, lies in the Kugahara 4- to 6-chome area.
Tokyu is rebuilding Chidoricho Station; construction started in March 2025 to rebuild and extend the platform roof, so once finished the whole platform will be covered. The whole project is scheduled to finish in December 2026.

Hospitals with inpatient beds (2020 data), public elementary and junior high schools whose catchment covers this area, high schools and universities within 1 km, stations, parks of 1 ha or more, and large shopping malls and department stores. Many Tokyo junior high students attend private schools, so junior high catchments are only a guide.
Maps show the shops and the sights. What a street is like, you only know by walking it. TidyMap uses AI street imagery analysis and public facility data to turn each area's street environment and everyday convenience into something you can compare. Search an address and look at the street outside first.
How to read it: yellow = poor, blue = good; grey = not enough data
TidyMap rates the street environment and everyday convenience. It does not assess the home itself, safety, noise or actual living experience. Street environment scores use AI assessments of imagery; convenience scores use public facility data.
