A park along a waterway famed for cherry blossoms, running through this residential area into the Nakagawa
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
The Komatsugawa Sakaigawa river flows from Honisshiki in the north all the way to the Nakagawa river, and the full stretch along its banks has been developed into the Komatsugawa Sakaigawa Waterside Park, which runs 3,930 meters and is also a noted cherry blossom spot. Its last stretch before flowing into the Nakagawa river runs right between Nishi-Komatsugawa-machi and Higashi-Komatsugawa.
The park is divided into five sections, starting from a waterfall upstream, with a stream, stepping stones, a suspension bridge, and an adventure boat all along the way.
This neighborhood covers Higashi-Komatsugawa 1-chome to 4-chome and Nishi-Komatsugawa-machi on both sides of the waterway, plus neighboring Matsue 1-chome and 2-chome to the east, with about 22,000 residents in 2020. There is no train station in the neighborhood, so getting around means relying on buses.
Going by our street photos, greenery ranks 76th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, placing it in the upper tier — the highest-ranked item for this neighborhood. Cleanliness ranks 76th, also in the upper tier.
The nearest station is Funabori Station on the Toei Shinjuku Line. Day to day, people rely on the Toei bus route Shinko-21, which stops at Higashi-Komatsugawa 1-chome, 2-chome, Shogakko-mae, and Shako-mae, running to Funabori Station and Nishi-Kasai Station at one end, and to Shin-Koiwa Station at the other.
This neighborhood is a residential area with no station, with about 105 people per hectare in 2020. Higashi-Komatsugawa 1-chome and 2-chome in the north are more than 1 kilometer from the nearest station, and the same is true for all of Nishi-Komatsugawa-machi.
Public transit ranks 391st out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, and convenience of daily life ranks 384th, both among the last few.
Based on the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan's flood inundation hazard maps, we took sample points about every 40 meters across the neighborhood: excluding the water surface and floodplain of the Arakawa and Nakagawa rivers, almost all points in the residential blocks fall within the projected flood zone, and more than 90% are projected to be inundated 3 meters or deeper.
Edogawa City expects that in a large-scale flood disaster, inundation would last 1 to 2 weeks or more, so its policy is that, in principle, all residents should evacuate outside Edogawa City in advance.
The town's name carries on from Higashi-Komatsugawa village, which dates back to the medieval period, when the village's area was larger than today's town. Construction on the Arakawa floodway to the west began in 1913, splitting the villages of the Komatsugawa area into two, and the area across the river is known today as Komatsugawa.
The Komatsugawa Sakaigawa Waterside Park opened in stages starting in April 1982.

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.
