Shin-nakano Station on the Marunouchi Line and the Nabeya-yokocho shopping street, Nakano's densest homes on both sides of Ome-kaido
Shin-nakano Station is right under Ome-kaido: Exits 1 and 2 come up on the Sugiyama Park side, and Exits 3 and 4 on the Nabeya-yokocho side. Locals shorten Nabeya-yokocho to "Nabeyoko". It is a north–south shopping street running exactly along the boundary between Honcho 4-chome and Chuo 3- and 4-chome, and it crosses Ome-kaido at the Nabeya-yokocho intersection.
Everyday life is this neighbourhood's strength: it ranks 25th for everyday convenience among Tokyo's 155 neighbourhoods. Nabeyoko is still counted among Nakano Ward's liveliest shopping streets, and everyday shopping ranks 24th. Public transport ranks 27th, with the Marunouchi Line station right under Ome-kaido. On the first weekend of every August the Nabeyoko Summer Festival closes the whole street to traffic and turns it pedestrian-only, drawing around 50,000 to 60,000 people.
In our street photos, sidewalks rank 119th of the 155 neighbourhoods. Greenery ranks 109th, and Sugiyama Park next to the station is only about 1,300 square metres. The station is served only by the Marunouchi Line, with the two directions on separate platforms on either side.
The name Nabeya-yokocho goes back to the early Edo period: this was the road pilgrims took to Myoho-ji Temple, and a roadside teahouse called "Nabeya" became the landmark for the turn, so people called it "Nabeya's side street". From the Meiji era on it connected Nakano Station with Ome-kaido and grew busy; after the subway opened and the Toden Suginami tram line was abolished, foot traffic dropped off somewhat. When Shin-nakano Station opened in 1961 it was the terminus of the Eidan Ogikubo Line, and the line was extended to Minami-asagaya in November that same year. Sugiyama Park was originally the home of Sugiyama, a Meiji-era businessman; after his daughter died in 1908 and his wife in 1925, he donated the land to what was then the town of Nakano. In March 1934 the City of Tokyo opened Sugiyama Park on the site. Today's district names, Chuo and Honcho, were fixed in 1967 when the current address system was introduced.
