Kikukawa, the old town where Hasegawa Heizo and Toyama Kinshiro once lived, small parks dotted through the streets
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
From 1764, Hasegawa Heizo lived in what is now 3-chome, which was also the office of the magistrate responsible for investigating arson and theft; this land later became the secondary residence of Toyama Kinshiro.
This Kikukawa neighborhood has a scattering of small parks: Kikukawa Park, Kikukawabashi Children's Park, and the children's park in Morishita 4-chome and 5-chome are all within the neighborhood. Morishita 4-chome and 5-chome actually belong to Koto City, so this neighborhood spans both Sumida City and Koto City.

The name Kikukawa comes from a river that used to flow along the west side of the town. In the early Edo period this area was called Honjo Minami Yokobori; in 1696 it became a townspeople's district (machiya), and was only then named Kikukawa-cho.
After the 1933 land readjustment project, Kikukawa was divided into 1-chome through 3-chome. In 1978, Kikukawa Station opened.

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.
