The former Toshimaen amusement park is now Nerima Castle Site Park, surrounded by quiet residential streets
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
The area around Nerima-Kasugacho Station is a quiet residential neighborhood, with a Summit Store supermarket and the City-run Kasugacho Library near the station.
Walking south from the station to the southern edge of the neighborhood brings you to Tokyo Metropolitan Nerima Castle Site Park, which used to be the amusement park Toshimaen. In May 2023 three areas opened first: the garden, the entrance exchange area, and the riverside walkway; the park still has earthen ramparts from Nerima Castle dating from the Kamakura to Muromachi periods.
About 30,000 people lived in this neighborhood in 2020, roughly 145 people per hectare.
Nerima-Kasugacho Station is on the Toei Oedo Line, opened on December 10, 1991; it's 1.4 km to Hikarigaoka and 1.5 km to Toshimaen. In fiscal 2024 about 23,000 people boarded or alighted here each day.

Kasugacho takes its name from Kasuga Shrine. This area was originally the center of Kami-Nerima Village, with the village office located here.
When Tokyo City was established in 1932, this area was incorporated into Itabashi City as Nerima-Kasugacho 1-chome and 2-chome; "Nerima" was dropped in 1949, leaving just Kasugacho. The current 1-chome through 6-chome divisions came about with the residential address system implemented in 1967.
The section of Nerima Castle Site Park south of the Shakujii River, on the site of the former Toshimaen pool, is scheduled to open in fiscal 2029; that section is already outside this neighborhood. The park's planned total area is about 26.66 hectares.

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.
