During the Edo period, Nishi-Oizumi was part of Kogure Village in Niiza District, Musashi Province; in 1889 it first became part of Kurehashi Village in Saitama Prefecture, and only in 1891 was it incorporated into Oizumi Village in Tokyo Prefecture. In 1932, it was transferred to Itabashi City, and this area became "Nishi-Oizumicho".
In 1981, residential address indication was implemented, and part of Nishi-Oizumicho was renamed to today's "Nishi-Oizumi". In Katayama, in Niiza City, Saitama Prefecture to the north, there is still an exclave of Nerima City that didn't undergo this address reorganization at the time, and it's still called "Nishi-Oizumicho" to this day.

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.
