Narrow, winding lanes on the north bank of the Arakawa, in a town named for a fan opening to the south
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Right outside Ogi-Ohashi Station, there are two supermarkets nearby: Life and Gyomu Super. The station is on the north side of the Ogi-Ohashi bridge over the Arakawa River.
Away from the station, land readjustment hasn't spread widely in Ogi, and the lanes are narrow and winding. This area was a railway blank spot for many years, until 2008 when Ogi-Ohashi and Takano stations both opened at once.
The two stations are about 0.5 km apart, and there's a bus plaza on the west side of Takano Station. Rental apartments in the Ogi area include some listed as 2 to 3 minutes on foot from Ogi-Ohashi Station, and others listed as 2 to 4 minutes on foot from Takano Station.
Motoki Higashi-cho, Nishi-cho, and Minami-cho have no station of their own; the nearest is Ogi-Ohashi Station. Apartments in Motoki Kita-cho are listed as 11 to 13 minutes on foot from Ogi-Ohashi Station, and apartments in Okino 2-chome are mostly listed as 7 to 12 minutes on foot from Takano Station.
Looking at our street photos, buildings rank 81st, the highest-ranking item for this neighborhood. In 2020, this neighborhood had about 137 people per hectare.
Public transit ranks 380th among 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, the weakest item for this neighborhood. Although there are two supermarkets in front of the station, overall convenience ranks 369th, also near the bottom.
South of Motoki Nishi-cho and Minami-cho is the Arakawa River, and the Shuto Expressway Central Circular Route runs along the levee.
According to Adachi City's flood hazard map, under the largest-scale Arakawa flood scenario, the Ogi, Okino, and Motoki areas would flood to depths of 0.5 to 5 meters, with Ogi 1-chome and Motoki Minami-cho, which are closer to the river, mostly flooding to over 3 meters; the water would take 1 to 3 days to recede.
The Toneri Line is very crowded during the morning peak: the most congested section is from Akado-shogakkomae to Nishi-Nippori, with a 2025 congestion rate of 176%, having ranked first nationwide for five consecutive years from fiscal 2020 to 2024.
The town name 'Ogi' (fan) was decided in 1974 when the residential address system was implemented: neighborhood association representatives proposed about 30 candidate names, and 'Ogi' was finally chosen. The reasoning was that the north end would be the fan's pivot, with the town spreading south like an open fan, also carrying the meaning of growing more prosperous.
The 1927 Hokubu Electric Railway plan originally called for a station to be built in what is now Ogi, but it was never constructed. When the Toneri Line opened in 2008, the station name was also decided by vote: 'Ogi-Ohashi Kita' received more votes, but Adachi City still recommended 'Ogi-Ohashi' on the grounds that the bridge was a symbol of the area.
The name of Takano Station, meanwhile, comes from a town name that no longer exists: Adachi City's Takano-cho existed until 1976, and now survives only in the station name.

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.
