A Setagaya residential area with plenty of green space along the Tama River, with Kanagawa just across the water
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Kamata in Setagaya is a residential area along the Tamagawa River; the riverbank area has a lot of greenery, and Kanagawa Prefecture is right across the river. Tamagawa Futakobashi Park in the neighborhood is right by the river, and serves as a wide-area evacuation site during disasters.
The City office groups Kamata 1-chome through 4-chome together with Kitami and Unane into the same Kitami district. The district's residents' festival is held every November 3rd, and draws more than 10,000 visitors.
There's no station here. Normally people walk to Futako-Tamagawa Station, which is outside the neighborhood, or take the bus.

Being close to the river comes at a cost: during Typhoon No. 19 in 2019, the area around Kamata 1-chome flooded when the Nogawa River overflowed. The City office installed 7 signs on utility poles in Kamata 1-chome through 3-chome marking the estimated flood depth if the Tamagawa River overflows.
In the Edo period this area was Kamata Village; in 1889 it became an oaza of Kinuta Village, and in 1936 it became Kamata-cho in Setagaya City. In 1955 exclaves were consolidated and Kamata-cho was re-established; in 1971 the residential address system was implemented, giving the area its current boundaries.

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.
