Big park next to the Toei housing estate, with courts, a dog run, and Palaeolithic-era remains
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Walking north from Kotake-mukaihara Station to Komone 5-chome, you reach the Tokyo Metropolitan Johoku Chuo Park, where people play baseball, play tennis, and walk their dogs. The park covers 25.9 hectares in total, with part of it extending beyond this neighborhood into Sakuragawa and Nerima; the park also contains the Moro Ruins from the Paleolithic era.
The station is officially located in Nerima City's Kotake 2-chome, but the station building itself extends into Itabashi City's Mukaihara, with exits 3 and 4 located in Mukaihara. So this neighborhood also spans both cities, covering Kotake 2-chome and, on the Itabashi side, Mukaihara and Komone.
Both Mukaihara and Komone have housing from the Tokyo Metropolitan Mukaihara Danchi; around 30,000 people lived in the neighborhood as of 2020.
Based on our street photos, greenery ranks 122nd out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, placing it in the top tier — the highest-ranking item for this neighborhood. The entire Komone 5-chome area is designated as planned park land.
The station is where the Yurakucho Line, Fukutoshin Line, and Seibu Yurakucho Line meet, with the Seibu Line side running all the way to Hanno. Taking the Fukutoshin Line to Shibuya requires no transfer.
Based on our street photos, buildings rank 266th, in the lower tier. Public transit ranks 259th, also in the lower tier; on real estate listing sites, properties in Komone 2- and 3-chome are mostly listed as 9 to 12 minutes on foot to the station.
On the Kotake side, exits 1 and 2 are elevated, with no elevator, and the escalator doesn't reach ground level either; exit 3 is the one with an elevator.
Based on our own calculations using points taken every 40 meters within the neighborhood from the Geospatial Information Authority's flood map, about 30% of the points fall within the flood-risk zone, with about half in Mukaihara 3-chome. Itabashi City and Nerima City each have their own flood hazard maps.
The town name Komone was created in 1965 by taking one character each from the old village of Kami-itabashi's three place names — Koyama, Moro, and Nenoue. Of these, Moro left its name in the archaeological record.
In 1951, a junior high school student found obsidian stone tools in a hillside road cutting at Moro. This was Japan's second confirmed Paleolithic site after the Iwajuku site in Gunma Prefecture, designated a Tokyo Metropolitan Historic Site in 1969, and is located today within Johoku Chuo Park.
Compared with the 395 Tokyo neighborhoods in this guide (scores 0–10)
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.
