Walk east through the grid of residential streets and you reach Tokyo's only park with a waterside landscape
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Mizumoto is a residential area laid out as a grid of straight roads. Following the grid eastward, the far end of Higashi-Mizumoto connects to Tokyo Metropolitan Mizumoto Park, the only park in the metropolis with a waterside landscape.
The park itself lies outside the neighborhood, but a waterside walking path runs through Higashi-Mizumoto, passing a pond called Uchidame. The park has rows of poplar and dawn redwood trees.
This neighborhood has no station, and covers the three town names Mizumoto, Higashi-Mizumoto, and Minami-Mizumoto. In 2020 it was home to about 36,000 people, roughly 124 per hectare.
From our street photos, street cleanliness ranks 50th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, placing it in the upper tier.
Daily access relies on JR Kanamachi Station; the Keisei Bus Kin61 departs from the south exit, running north via Higashi-Mizumoto 2-chome and Mizumoto Park, with a bus leaving Kanamachi about every 10 minutes.
Taking an apartment next to Mizumoto Junior High School as an example, the listing page states it's 15 minutes to Kanamachi Station by bus, or 26 minutes on foot.
Over 80% of rental listings use Kanamachi Station as the nearest station; the closest on foot are Higashi-Mizumoto 1- and 2-chome, about 14 minutes away, while Minami-Mizumoto takes just over 20 minutes.
Public transit ranks 390th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, the weakest of this neighborhood's seven sub-scores; overall convenience of living also ranks only 387th.
The western half, Mizumoto 1- and 2-chome and Minami-Mizumoto 1- and 2-chome, has no ratable street photos, and about a third of the neighborhood's residents live there, so the score mainly reflects the eastern half.
Based on points sampled every 40 meters across the neighborhood using the Geospatial Information Authority's flood maps, nearly the entire neighborhood falls within the projected flood zone, with about 60% expected to see 0.5 to 3 meters of flooding and 40% expected to see 3 to 5 meters. In the western half, Mizumoto 1-chome and Minami-Mizumoto 1- and 2-chome are mostly in the 3-to-5-meter range.
Katsushika City's evacuation principle is to move to non-flooding areas in advance; Katsushika City's water hazard map lets you check flood depth by location.
In 1889, five villages including Kamikoai, Shimokoai, and Iizuka merged to form Mizumoto Village. A village survey conducted before its incorporation into Tokyo City recorded that of the village's 655 households, 416 were engaged in farming, and that no transportation ran through the village—residents had to go to Kanamachi to catch the Keisei train. In 1932, Mizumoto Village was incorporated into Tokyo City, becoming part of Katsushika City.
Koaidame, at the center of Mizumoto Park, is a former channel left behind by the old Tone River. The old riverbed was first filled in as farmland; in 1940 plans were made to turn it into green space, but this was interrupted by the war, and Mizumoto Park didn't open until 1965.

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.
