Houses and farmland side by side, where residents draw lots for plots at the City-run agricultural park
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Doshida is mostly houses and farmland, with shops only along Sasame-dori and Doshida-dori. The Doshida Agricultural Park in 3-chome was opened by Nerima City in 1993 so residents could experience farming; the experience farm can be freely visited during the day. Every year the City recruits users for the farm plots, decided by lottery.
4-chome also has Inariyama Ikoi no Mori, a forest area designated by the City. This neighborhood covers Doshida 1-chome through 4-chome, with about 117 people per hectare in 2020.
There's no railway within the town; the closest station is Hikarigaoka Station, outside the neighborhood to the east. For rental listings that list this station, it's a 16 to 27 minute walk.
From our street photos, greenery ranks 167th and buildings rank 132nd, both in the middle range.
Day to day, people mostly rely on the community bus's Hoya Route: it stops at Doshida Chiiki Shukaijo, Doshida Hachiman-mae, and Doshida 1-chome. From Doshida 1-chome to Hikarigaoka Station takes about 10 minutes, with a one-way fare of 230 yen.
Public transit ranks 395th among Tokyo's 395 neighborhoods, last place, the weakest category for this neighborhood; convenience of daily living ranks 385th, also in the lower range.
In the early morning, the Hoya Route runs about every 30 minutes; after the 8:17 departure, the interval stretches to 45 minutes, and the last bus toward Hikarigaoka is at 20:17. West of Doshida, there's a blank area with no railway.
In the Edo period, this area was Doshida Village in Niiza District, Musashi Province, divided into the Upper Group and the Lower Group; today's Doshida belongs to the Lower Group. The name is said to have two possible origins: one holds that it evolved from Hajita, the name of a group who made haji-ki pottery; the other holds that it comes from Saida, a field used for ritual offerings.
In 1932, this area became Nerima Doshida-cho; in 1947 it came under Nerima City; in 1975, the residential address system was implemented, giving rise to today's Doshida 1-chome through 4-chome. In 2005, land readjustment began in central Doshida, and in 2013, the section of Auxiliary Road No. 230 (reserved for future use by the Oedo Line) between Sasame-dori and Doshida-dori opened to traffic.
In October 2025, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government released the results of its review of the Oedo Line extension, envisioning opening around 2040. The extension is planned to have three new stations, one of which is tentatively called Doshida Station, planned to be built underground beneath Auxiliary Road No. 230.

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.
