The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Nakanobu Skip Road is an arcade shopping street about 330 meters long, running from Ebara-Nakanobu Station on the Ikegami Line all the way to Nakanobu Station. Under the arcade there are butcher shops, fish shops, and produce stores, as well as bakeries, rice shops, and clothing stores.
North of Ebara-Nakanobu Station is the Sun Mall Ebara shopping street; about 50 meters from the station, the Showadori shopping street crosses the Ikegami Line. Aside from the shopping streets and the buildings along the Daini Keihin road, most of the Nakanobu area is residential land. Ebaramachi Station and the Ebaramachi shopping street are in Nakanobu 5-chome, outside this neighborhood.
Healthcare ranks 30th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, the highest-ranking category for this neighborhood. Around Ebara-Nakanobu Station is Showa University Hospital's affiliated Higashi Hospital, and the post office and the City-run Ebara Library are also in the same area.
Nakanobu Station has the Tokyu Oimachi Line and the Toei Asakusa Line, with the two exits just one street apart, about 50 meters. From our street photos, cleanliness ranks 213th and buildings rank 126th, both in the middle of the pack.
From our street photos, greenery ranks 338th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, the weakest category for this neighborhood. In heavy rain, the area along the Oimachi Line in Nakanobu 2- and 3-chome is estimated to flood between 0.5 and 1 meter.
Around 1922, the area where the shopping street now stands was still bamboo groves, known for their bamboo shoots. In 1927, two stations opened one after another, and shops gradually grew up along both sides of a road running through the bamboo groves.
The air raid of May 1945 burned this area to ashes overnight. After the war, shop owners first built temporary structures, and by around 1955 almost all had been rebuilt.
In 1968, Toei Asakusa Line's Nakanobu Station opened, and from then on there were three rail lines at the two ends of the shopping street. The fully covered arcade was completed in 1969, and when it was renovated in 1988, a public naming contest gave it the name Skip Road.
In December 2025, a fire broke out in this arcade. Repair work is scheduled to be completed in mid-December 2026, and until then the arcade's ceiling may leak when it rains.

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.

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.
