The Asakusa Line's terminus, where Awa Odori dancers fill the cherry-lined street every April
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Nishi-magome Station is the starting point of the Toei Asakusa Line, with its platform underground; just south of the station is the Asakusa Line's rolling stock depot, the Magome Rolling Stock Depot. About a 5-minute walk from the station, there's a row of cherry trees lining the street between Minami-magome 4-chome and 6-chome, with a park at the 4-chome end. Every year in early April, the Magome Bunshi-mura Ozakura Matsuri cherry blossom festival is held here; it has run since 1991, with Awa Odori and parade dancing in the street.
This neighborhood covers Nishi-magome, Minami-magome 4- to 6-chome, Chuo 4- and 5-chome, Naka-ikegami, Kugahara 2-chome, Kamiikedai 5-chome, and Naka-magome 3-chome, 12 chome in all. As of 2020, about 53,000 people lived here, roughly 197 per hectare.
Judging from our street photos, daily shopping ranks 210th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, in the middle of the pack, and the strongest of this neighborhood's seven categories.
The stretch between Nishi-magome and Sengakuji is run as a branch line, and to head toward Shinagawa, Haneda Airport, or Yokohama you need to change at Sengakuji onto a train running through to the Keikyu line.
The Ota City Folk Museum in Minami-magome 5-chome offers free admission to its permanent exhibition. The Kumagai Tsuneko Memorial Hall in Minami-magome 4-chome was once the home of Kumagai Tsuneko, a female calligrapher of kana script.
Public transit ranks 328th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, toward the bottom, and the weakest category for this neighborhood. The farthest point from a station in the neighborhood is about 1.5 km, on the side of Kugahara 2-chome and Chuo 4-chome.
The street-photo grid used for scoring has 124 cells, with most of the score coming from Minami-magome 4- to 6-chome and Nishi-magome 1-chome; Kamiikedai 5-chome has just 2 cells.
TidyMap ran its own estimate, taking points roughly every 40 meters within the neighborhood on the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan's flood inundation hazard map (maximum assumed scale). About 30% of the points fall within flood-prone areas, mostly 0.5 to 3 meters deep.
The highest proportions are in Naka-ikegami 1- and 2-chome, Chuo 4-chome, and Kugahara 2-chome, each around 60-80%; other chome are mostly under 30%. Check Ota City's hazard map for your specific address.
Magome Hachiman Shrine, the tutelary shrine of the old Magome village, stands in Minami-magome 5-chome; it's said to have been established in 1193 through a divided spirit from Iwashimizu Hachimangu.
By the late Taisho and early Showa periods, writers and artists moved into Magome, forming what later became known as Magome Bunshi-mura, the writers' village. In November 1968, Toei Line 1 (now the Asakusa Line) opened, with Nishi-magome Station as its starting point.

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.
