Kamikitazawa-Hachimanyama, a residential area laid out in the Taisho era, with cherry trees lining the streets radiating from the station
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
The streets of Kamikitazawa 3-chome radiate straight out from the station, a residential area developed during the Taisho era. The street nicknamed Rokkotsu-dori is lined with cherry trees and was chosen as one of the Setagaya Hyakkei, the City's list of 100 scenic spots.
In 4-chome, on the north side of the tracks, the shopping street continues on from 3-chome, with more shops than on the south side. Near Hachimanyama Station there's an Ozeki supermarket and a shopping complex under the Keio elevated tracks, and beside Kamikitazawa Station there's also a Summit supermarket.
The two stations are only about 600 meters apart, and you can see the elevated platform of Hachimanyama Station from Kamikitazawa Station. Hachimanyama Station itself is in Kamitakaido, Suginami City, with part of the station area extending into Setagaya City.

Kamikitazawa's residential area was developed after the Great Kanto Earthquake. The developer, Kimura Taiji, had worked with Goto Shimpei to build Taisho-cho in Taipei, and the street layouts and roadside trees of the two areas are said to be similar.
Kamikitazawa Station opened in 1913 and was renamed Kitazawa Station in 1917. In 1932, the area around Odakyu's Shimokitazawa Station was renamed "Kitazawa," so to avoid confusion, the station was changed back to Kamikitazawa.
Hachimanyama Station opened in 1918 as Matsuzawa Station, was renamed Hachimanyama in 1937, and was elevated in 1970.
The Keio Line section between Sasazuka and Sengawa, about 7.2 kilometers, is being elevated, with the project running through fiscal year 2030. There's also a redevelopment plan for the Toei Hachimanyama Apartments in Hachimanyama 3-chome, and a district plan is currently being drafted.

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.
