A station in Adachi named after neighboring Katsushika's Kosuge, right by the Arakawa
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
The station is Kosuge Station on the Tobu line, built in Adachi 2-chome, Adachi City. The station is named after the neighboring Kosuge in Katsushika City, which doesn't have a station of its own on that side. The station area is close to the Arakawa River.
Kosuge 1-chome has the Kosuge Water Reclamation Center (a sewage treatment plant), which also houses Kosuge West Park and Kosuge East Sports Park.
In 2020, 56% of households in this neighborhood were single-person households, higher than 47% in Adachi City and 44% in Katsushika City.
Kosuge Station only serves Local trains, and the next stop west is Kita-Senju, 1.1 km away. In fiscal year 2025, about 6,467 people passed through daily.
Based on our street photos, cleanliness ranks 245th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, the highest-ranked category for this neighborhood.
Not many people live in this neighborhood: counting only regular households, there are about 99 people per hectare. Kosuge 1-chome has the Tokyo Detention House, and of the 11,167 people in the neighborhood, about 2,000 are statistically counted as institutional population.
So the population and age statistics for this neighborhood can't be taken directly as representing regular households. Healthcare ranks 388th, and daily shopping ranks 381st, both among the last few in Tokyo.
In 1869, a prefectural government office was established on the former residence site of Ina, the Kanto Gundai (regional magistrate), and this became Kosuge Prefecture. Two years later, in 1871, with the abolition of domains and establishment of prefectures, Kosuge Prefecture was abolished along with them.
The former prefectural office site served as a brick factory for about ten years, later becoming Kosuge Prison, the predecessor of today's Tokyo Detention House. In 1977, the neighboring Kosuge Water Reclamation Center began operation.

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.
