Kohoku, where the station only opened in 2008, still has winding old lanes around it
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Kohoku Station is an elevated station on the Nippori-Toneri Liner, with a Life supermarket and a Kojima × Bic Camera electronics store right in front of the station. The station is in Kohoku 4-chome, which like 1-chome through 5-chome lies south of Kan-nana, and this area still has narrow, winding old streets.
North of Kan-nana, 6-chome and 7-chome went through land readjustment, so the streets there run straight. The neighborhood's second station, Nishiarai-daishi-nishi Station, is in 6-chome, and apartments in that area are listed as a 5-minute walk from it.
Back in the south, 4-chome has rental apartments listed as a 2-minute walk from Kohoku Station. 1-chome and 2-chome are a bit farther from Kohoku Station, and some apartments there are listed as a 5- to 8-minute walk from the neighboring Takano Station.
Looking at our street photos, buildings rank 257th, the highest-ranking item for this neighborhood. In 2020, this neighborhood had about 108 people per hectare.
Tokyo Women's Medical University Adachi Medical Center, next to the station, has been Kohoku Station's subname since 2022. The Nippori-Toneri Liner is 9.7 kilometers long with 13 stations, and takes about 20 minutes end to end; in fiscal 2024, about 13,000 passengers boarded or got off at Kohoku Station each day.
Looking at our street photos, sidewalks rank 381st and street cleanliness ranks 385th, both near the very bottom.
The Toneri Liner gets crowded during the morning peak: the most congested section is between Akado-shogakkomae and Nishi-Nippori, with a 176% congestion rate in fiscal 2025, and it ranked first in Japan for five straight years from fiscal 2020 through fiscal 2024.
The name "Kohoku" comes from Kohoku Village, formed in 1889 by the merger of nine villages, because it lay north of the Arakawa River (now the Sumida River). In 1932, this area became part of Adachi City, Tokyo City, and "Kohoku" stopped being an administrative place name.
Later, as the residential address system was introduced in stages, "Kohoku" returned as a town name: 1-chome through 4-chome in 1969, 6-chome and 7-chome in 1971, and 5-chome in 1976. Before the Toneri Liner opened in 2008, this area was a blank spot with no railway service; with the opening of Kohoku Station, Kohoku finally got its own station.

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.
