A hillside station on a plateau, its slopes often seen in TV adverts, with the cutting lined with cherry blossom and rapeseed flowers in spring
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Ishikawa-dai sits on a plateau beside the Nomi River valley—the land is high and there are a lot of slopes, so you can't avoid going up and down hills when you head out. The stretch of the Ikegami Line from here toward Senzokuike cuts through the plateau in a cutting, and in spring it's covered in cherry blossoms, daikon flowers, and rapeseed flowers, drawing quite a few people to come see it.
Because of the terrain, the Gotanda side of the station is a cutting dug into the plateau, but the platform itself is built on an embankment. The slope you walk down toward the station often appears in TV commercials.
This neighborhood covers Ishikawa-cho 1 and 2-chome and Higashi-Yukigaya 2, 3, and 5-chome in Ota City. In 2020 around 18,000 people lived here, about 212 people per hectare.
Based on our street photos, greenery ranks 185th among 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo. Medical and pharmacy ranks 176th; both are in the middle of the pack, the two highest-ranked categories for this neighborhood. Tokyo Metropolitan Ebara Hospital is not far to the east, outside the neighborhood.
This neighborhood is small in area, so only 39 street-photo grid points were used for scoring.
For commuting, take the Tokyu Ikegami Line: toward Gotanda, board from platform 2, and the next stop is Senzokuike; toward Kamata, board from platform 1, and the next stop is Yukigaya-Otsuka.
Public transit ranks 278th among 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, and daily shopping ranks 274th; both are in the lower tier. Each platform—inbound and outbound—has its own ticket gate, so you can't switch sides once you're inside the station.
TidyMap calculates its own scores using points taken roughly every 40 meters within the neighborhood, based on the flood inundation hazard maps from the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan. About 35% of the points fall within flood hazard zones, mostly 0.5 to 3 meters, with under 0.5 meters being the next most common.
Near Ishikawa Bridge, where Nakahara Kaido crosses the Nomi River, there's an entrance to a channel that, during heavy rain, diverts water from the Nomi River under the street to the Tamagawa. Ota City's disaster hazard map also has an English-Chinese bilingual version.
The Edo-period topography text Shinpen Musashi Fudoki Ko records "Ishikawa" as another name for the Nomi River. In 1927, Ikegami Electric Railway opened a station here, in what was then Oaza Yukigaya, Aza Ishikawa, Ikegami Village, Ebara District; the station was called Ishikawa Station, and the following year it was renamed Ishikawa-dai.
Yukigaya Hachiman Shrine, southeast of the station, is said to have been founded after a retainer of the Hojo clan dug up a stone stele inscribed with a Lotus Sutra mandala during the Eiroku era. The shrine hall was destroyed in the 1945 air raids and rebuilt in 1959; the Shusse-ishi on the grounds was dedicated by the great yokozuna Taiho of the Showa era.
Compared with the 395 Tokyo neighborhoods in this guide (scores 0–10)
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.
