The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Hokima is a residential area on the outskirts of Takenotsuka, with no train station in the town itself. The biggest patch of greenery in the neighborhood is Motofuchie Park in Hokima 2-chome, about 4 hectares, with a plaza, a fishing pond, and playground equipment; it's open all day and free to enter. The park also has the Adachi Park of Living Things, a combined zoo and aquarium with a double-height butterfly greenhouse, plus an area where you can touch animals, which requires a separate ticket.
In 2020, about 27,000 people lived in this neighborhood, roughly 144 per hectare.
From our street photos, street cleanliness ranks 57th among 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, which is a strength of this neighborhood. Buildings rank 62nd, also near the top.
To get to the station normally, you need to walk or take a bus. Of the apartment buildings listed on real estate sites, 20 list Takenotsuka Station, with walks ranging from 15 to 25 minutes. A few listings on rental pages also fall in the 17-18 minute range.
As for buses, Tobu Bus opened a new route in 2021 starting from the east exit of Takenotsuka Station, stopping along the way at Nishi-Hokima 2-chome and Hokima 5-chome, taking about 20 minutes to the terminus at Bunkyo University. The elementary school district for 1-chome is divided by block number: blocks 24 and below attend Hokima Elementary School, and block 25 and above attend Fuchie No. 1 Elementary School (as of 2023).
Public transit ranks 384th among 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, which is the weakest aspect of this neighborhood. Without a station of its own, going out every day by train mostly means walking 15 minutes or more first, or taking a bus.
Hokima Village merged with the villages of Takenotsuka, Rokugatsu, and Iko in 1889 to form Fuchie Village, which was incorporated into Tokyo City as part of Adachi City in 1932.
The village itself is long gone, but the name lives on: Fuchie No. 1 Elementary School, Fuchie Junior High School, and Motofuchie Park all still carry the name Fuchie.

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.
