Higashi-Jujo: an overpass linking the izakaya lane up on the bluff with the shopping street down by the station
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
On the west side of Higashi-Jujo Station, right by the tracks, is the cliff at the end of the Musashino Plateau. Coming out through the ticket gates at the south exit, there's an overpass bridge that crosses the whole line of tracks from atop the cliff and leads down to the low ground on the east side.
Atop the cliff is Naka-Jujo, whose northern half is wedged between the Saikyo Line and the Keihin-Tohoku Line, forming a triangle. On the narrow road right outside the station on the west side, people often say it's lined with izakaya and cafes.
At the foot of the cliff are Higashi-Jujo 1-chome through 6-chome, a residential area spreading out along the east side of the Keihin-Tohoku Line, sitting lower than the other towns in the Jujo area. Right in front of the station on the east side is a shopping street with a supermarket, often said to be where locals do their everyday grocery shopping. In 2020 this neighborhood had a population of about 27,000, or about 213 people per hectare.
For everyday shopping, this neighborhood ranks 112th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, in the upper range — the best-ranked item for this neighborhood. The Higashi-Jujo Ginza shopping street, often said to have over a hundred shops, runs right along the border between this neighborhood and the Oji-kamiya neighborhood; Kamiya 1-chome on the north side of the street already belongs to that neighborhood.
The station is served only by the Keihin-Tohoku Line, with Akabane one stop to the north and Oji one stop to the south. For Shinjuku or Ikebukuro, the common way is to transfer to the Saikyo Line at Akabane.
The Kita City Health Center is in Higashi-Jujo 2-chome. Medical care and pharmacies rank 159th, in the middle range.
Based on our street photos, sidewalks rank 383rd out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, the weakest item for this neighborhood. Greenery ranks 374th, also in the lower range.
The south exit has been unstaffed all day since 2023, and the escalators, elevators, and restrooms are all only at the north exit.
Based on points sampled every 40 meters within the neighborhood against the Geospatial Information Authority's flood maps, about two-thirds of the points fall within areas expected to flood. At the foot of the cliff, Higashi-Jujo 1-chome through 6-chome mostly show 0.5 to 3 meters, while Kamiya 2-chome mostly shows 3 meters or more.
When Kita City forecasts that the Arakawa River might flood, it only opens evacuation sites on higher ground, one of which is Takinogawa Third Elementary School in Jujo-nakahara 4-chome. Kita City's flood hazard map was revised in September 2025, and English, Chinese, and Korean versions are also available.
Higashi-Jujo Station came about because local residents petitioned for it: they petitioned in 1927, and it opened in 1931 as Shimo-Jujo Station. In 1939, portions were split off from Kami-Jujo and Shimo-Jujo towns to form Higashi-Jujo 1-chome through 6-chome.
It wasn't until 18 years after the town name changed that the station followed suit and was renamed Higashi-Jujo Station in 1957.

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.
