A residential street that grew up after the subway station arrived in 1983, with fields still scattered here and there
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Before the subway opened, the Heiwadai area was mostly rice fields. Heiwadai Station opened on June 24, 1983, and shops in front of the station gradually increased in number one by one.
Nowadays this area is mostly residential, though fields still remain scattered here and there. Fuji Kaido (Kanpachi) and Metropolitan Road 441 carry heavy traffic, and shops line both roads.
This neighborhood had about 33,000 residents in 2020, roughly 168 people per hectare.
Heiwadai Station is served by the Yurakucho Line and the Fukutoshin Line, which share tracks between Wakoshi and Kotake-mukaihara. In fiscal 2025, about 43,000 people boarded and alighted here daily.
On real estate listing pages, all 15 listings in Heiwadai 4-chome and all 17 listings in Hayamiya 2-chome are tagged to Heiwadai Station, the closest being a 2- to 3-minute walk. Listings in Heiwadai 1-chome are also tagged to this same station only, but the walk is 13 to 17 minutes.
The neighborhood has a Nerima City-run Heiwadai Library and gymnasium. Based on our street photos, buildings rank 89th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, the highest-ranking item for this neighborhood.
Public transit ranks 294th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, and greenery ranks 305th, both in the lower range.
Between Heiwadai 4-chome and Kitamachi 7-chome, the Heiwadai Tunnel on Radial Route 35 provisionally opened on February 24, 2024, running 570 meters with one lane in each direction. Underground utility conduits still need to be laid and sound barriers installed, and sidewalk work will continue; the metropolitan government's project period was originally set to run through fiscal 2023, and it had already been noted at that time that an extension would be needed.
Back in the days of Shimo-Nerima Village, this area was the center where the village office stood, and it was also the first part of the village to be developed.
When the residential address system was implemented in 1965, there was a proposal to name it "Honmura," but new residents who had moved in objected, so it was changed to the auspicious name "Heiwadai" instead.
Radial Routes 35 and 36 are planned to extend all the way to Kan-nana; the stretch between Hikawadai and Heiwadai will be up to 50 meters wide and will cross a north-south road leading toward Nerima Station via a grade separation.
For the stretch between Kan-nana and Hikawadai Station that has not yet opened, land acquisition was mostly complete as of summer 2025, with completion targeted before March 2031. Once the Hikawadai-to-Heiwadai section is widened to 4 lanes, the Heiwadai Tunnel will also open with 4 lanes.

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.
