Across the platform, hydrangeas grow on the slope — to the south, Hanegi Park with 650 plum trees
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
On the slope across from platform 2 at Higashi-Matsubara Station, hydrangeas are planted, and around June they're lit up at night. Around the station is the Higashi-Matsubara shopping street, along with the Higashi-Matsubara Station-mae Post Office.
Walk south out of the neighborhood and you reach Hanegi Park in Daita 4-chome, and Higashi-Matsubara Station is one of its nearest stations. The park has about 650 plum trees, and every February it hosts the Setagaya Plum Festival; the Umegaoka Library is also in the park.
The station is in Matsubara 5-chome, and the neighborhood also includes Hanegi 1-chome and 2-chome. In 2020, about 209 people lived per hectare in this neighborhood.

Hanegi Park is called Hanegi, but it isn't actually in Hanegi: both pieces of land used to be exclaves of the old Setagaya Village, and before the residential address system was introduced, both were called Hanegi-cho. It was only after the surrounding villages merged into Setagaya and the place names were reorganized that they were split into today's Hanegi and Daita 4-chome.
The land that became the park was originally called Rokuroji-yama, and later became the property of the Nezu zaibatsu, who renamed it Nezu-yama; it opened as a Tokyo metropolitan park in 1956, and was transferred to Setagaya City in 1965.
The station itself opened in 1933 as a station on the Teito Electric Railway, and in 1990 the station building on the Kichijoji side was merged into a single elevated station building above the tracks.

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.

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.
