Local guide

01First impressions

Kokuryo Station went underground in 2012, and the space above is now a station plaza and bus terminal. Two redevelopment buildings face the station: Coco Square, finished in 2000, has a Maruetsu supermarket inside. The other is a residential tower completed in 2004, with a Seiyu supermarket on its lower floors. Head southeast towards Shinagawa-dori and there is also the Ito-Yokado Kokuryo store.

02What works

In our street photos, greenery here ranks 45th of Tokyo's 167 neighbourhoods, in the top third. The buildings look fairly tidy too, ranking 48th. Near Fuda Station to the west, Kokuryo Shrine has a "thousand-year wisteria" that flowers from late April to early May, turning the whole trellis pale purple. Chofu Station is only two stops away, which makes changing trains or heading to the big shopping centres easy.

03Heads-up

Only Local trains stop at Kokuryo; Special Express and Express trains pass straight through, so for a faster train you first ride to Chofu and change there. Public transport ranks 95th of 167, around the middle. Pavements rank 121st, this neighbourhood's weakest category. If you live on the Fuda Station side, the station area has convenience stores, small supermarkets and drugstores but no large shops, and many people go to Chofu or Kokuryo to shop.

04A bit of history

The name Kokuryo comes from this having been land run directly by the provincial government of Musashi (kokugaryo). In the Edo period, Kokuryo-shuku was one of the five Fuda post towns (Fuda Goshuku) on the Koshu Kaido. When the station opened in 1913 it stood on the north side of the Koshu Kaido, and it moved to its present site only in 1927. The shrine's wisteria was already growing around 1640, when the shrine moved to its current site, and in 1972 it was given a steel-framed trellis of about 400 square metres. The two buildings in front of the station were completed in 2000 and 2004. When the Keio Line went underground in 2012, the level crossings that used to stay closed for ages disappeared with it. Since 2021 the train-approach melodies have been the theme tunes of the TV dramas "Taiyo ni Hoero!" and "Seibu Keisatsu": Ishihara Promotion, the company behind both, once had an office in Chofu, and Kokuryo was its nearest station.

How are these measured?

Compared against the Tokyo neighbourhoods in this guide; metrics without enough data are not ranked. Shopping counts convenience stores plus the nearer of a supermarket or a traditional market (public and private retail markets); night markets, vendor zones and shopping-street shops are not counted. Transit is rail-first with a lower weight for buses.

TidyMap rates the street environment and everyday convenience. It does not assess the home itself, safety, noise or actual living experience. About data limits
