The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
In Johoku Park in Sakashita 2-chome, there's a Johoku Traffic Park that opened in 1969. The park displays a retired steam locomotive and a Toei bus, plus tricycles and training-wheel bicycles for young children to ride.
Sakashita 2-chome around the park is mainly residential, with lots of schools, parks and public housing. West of the park is Hasune - 1-chome and 2-chome are also residential, 3-chome has an elementary school and shops, and only the side near the Shingashi River has factories.
This neighborhood covers Hasune 1- to 3-chome, Sakashita 2- and 3-chome, and Higashi-Sakashita 2-chome. In 2020 it had a population of about 35,000.

Itabashi City's Arakawa River flood scenario assumes 632 mm of rain falling over 72 hours across the Arakawa River basin. Based on points we calculated roughly every 40 meters using the Geospatial Information Authority's flood map, almost the entire neighborhood is within the flood zone, mostly 5 meters or more.
Itabashi City's policy is to evacuate to places in Itabashi City that don't flood, because sheltering in a high-rise could mean being stranded for a long time. Itabashi City's hazard map lets you check flood depth by neighborhood name.
The name Hasune has nothing to do with lotus roots (renkon) - it was formed in 1900 by combining the character for "lotus" (hasu) from Kami-Hasunuma village and the character for "root" (ne) from Neha village. Starting in 1921, a new channel for the Shingashi River was dug through Hasune, completed in 1933.
Around the same time, Sakashita set up a series of chemical and pharmaceutical factories after the Great Kanto Earthquake; Hasune also had Fujikura Chemical, founded in 1938, and Yamanouchi Pharmaceutical's Hasune plant, which opened in 1943.
In 1957, the Japan Housing Corporation's Hasune housing complex was completed and residents moved in. The Mita Line was originally planned to run north to a station near Hasunebashi in Hasune 3-chome, but it was changed to Takashimadaira instead, to serve a large housing development being built on the rice paddies of Tokumarugahara. Hasune Station opened in 1968.

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.
