Residential streets by the Arakawa, with a free natural zoo in Gyosen Park
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
In Gyosen Park in Kita-Kasai 3-chome, there's the Edogawa City Natural Zoo, which is free to enter. It opens at 10am on weekdays, and 9:30am on weekends and holidays. Kita-Kasai's western border is the Arakawa River, with Koto City on the other side; to the north, the Shinkawa River separates it from the central part of Edogawa City.
This neighborhood covers Kita-Kasai 1 to 5-chome. The town has no station, and had about 20,000 residents in 2020, at roughly 122 people per hectare.
Based on our street photos, greenery ranks 87th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, near the top—the highest-ranking category for this neighborhood. The town also has Ukita Park.
For everyday errands, people rely on Toei buses. The Shinko 21 route connects Nishi-Kasai Station, Funabori Station, Edogawa City Office, and Shin-Koiwa Station; get off at "Ukita" or "Kita-Kasai 2-chome" to reach the zoo. It's about a 15-minute walk from Nishi-Kasai Station to the zoo.
For rental listings, the nearest station splits north-south: 1-chome is all listed as Funabori, 4-chome is all listed as Nishi-Kasai, and 2-chome leans toward Funabori. 5-chome splits about evenly between the two stations, with a 14- to 21-minute walk to the station.
Public transit ranks 381st out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, the weakest category for this neighborhood. The town has no station, so you need to walk or take a bus to reach Funabori or Nishi-Kasai.
1- and 2-chome include the Arakawa riverbank, riverside land, and parks, so they're more sparsely populated, at only 58 and 113 people per hectare respectively. Only 11 street photo tiles were captured for 2-chome, so this chome carries less weight in the score.
TidyMap calculates its own points roughly every 40 meters within the neighborhood, based on the Geospatial Information Authority's flood inundation hazard map (maximum assumed scale): excluding the water surface and embankments of the Arakawa and Nakagawa rivers, all residential land falls within the projected flood zone, with about 80% at 3 meters or more.
Edogawa City says about 70% of the City's land is below sea level; in the event of a major flood, residents are, in principle, all expected to evacuate to a wide area outside the City, with the decision made jointly by the five Koto-area cities about 3 days in advance. Edogawa City's flood hazard maps come in three types: by area, by river, and by rainfall scale.
This area was originally Ukita, developed in 1596 by Udagawa Sadauji. It became Ukita-cho during the Showa era, and in 1978, when the residential address system was implemented, it was reorganized together with Minami-Funabori-cho into Kita-Kasai.
The name Ukita hasn't disappeared: part of the land is still called Ukita-cho, and the park and bus stop are still named Ukita.

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.
