Shakujii Park's Sanpoji Pond sits right in the town, and the Bank of Japan's old sports ground is now a grassy park
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Sanpoji Pond is in the neighborhood of Shakujiidai, the marsh plant community on the pond is a natural monument, and around it is Tokyo Metropolitan Shakujii Park. Next to the park, Shakujii Matsunokaze Cultural Park was originally a sports ground opened by the Bank of Japan in 1934, and only became a Nerima City park in April 2014. The park has a multipurpose plaza with natural turf, and at the flower and tree plaza you can sit on the grass and eat your bento.
The showers in the management building are free, and you can use them even if you just drop in while out on a walk; the 7 tennis courts, though, require payment. Unlike the neighboring Shakujii-koen, Matsunokaze has a fence and closes at 7pm.
This neighborhood covers Shakujiidai 1-chome to 6-chome and 8-chome, with about 135 people per hectare in 2020. The neighborhood also has the ruins of Shakujii Castle, Sanpoji Temple, Dojoji Temple, and Hikawa Shrine.
From our street photos, greenery ranks 141st out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, the highest-ranking item for this neighborhood.
There's no station within the neighborhood itself; people use Musashi-Seki and Kami-Shakujii on the Shinjuku Line, and Oizumi-gakuen and Shakujii-koen on the Ikebukuro Line. Which station you walk to depends on your chome: from 4-chome it's only 7 minutes to Kami-Shakujii Station, while from 8-chome it's 10 to 16 minutes to Musashi-Seki Station.
Rental listings in 3-chome are mostly marked as near Oizumi-gakuen Station, a 15 to 18 minute walk. Matsunokaze Cultural Park is about 15 minutes from the south exit of Shakujii-koen Station.
Public transit ranks 371st out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, and daily shopping ranks 365th; both are in the lower tier.
Listings in 2-chome are mostly marked as near Kami-Shakujii Station, a 15 to 20 minute walk; some listings in 5-chome also require a 20 minute walk. There are Seibu Bus and Kanto Bus depots nearby, with routes connecting to different stations.
Shakujiidai was originally made up of several aza (small sections) of Kami-Shakujii Village: Daimon, Numabe, Nishimura, and Koseki. In July 1970, when the residential address system was implemented, almost all of the old Kami-Shakujii 2-chome, together with the area around Sanpoji Pond in Shimo-Shakujii 2-chome, were combined to form Shakujiidai; in 1978 a small portion was then allotted to Sekimachi-kita.
Starting in 1975, the Bank of Japan sports ground next to the park opened its baseball field and tennis courts to City residents. In 2008, Nerima City purchased this land from the Bank of Japan, and turned it into a park out of concern that building housing there would affect the neighboring natural monument.

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.
