Old plum-harvest fields became Tagara Bairin Park, where white plums bloom fullest in late February, and the buried old river course is now a greenway
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Tagara Bairin Park in Tagara 5-chome was originally a field for growing plums for harvest; after the City bought and developed it, it opened as a park in 1980. The 66 plum trees in the park are mostly white plum, blooming fullest in late February each year. The Tagara River, which used to flow east from Hikarigaoka and also pass through Tagara, is now entirely buried underground, with a greenway with a walking path on top.
This neighborhood is Tagara 1-chome through 5-chome, plus Hikarigaoka 1-chome; in 2020 about 185 people lived per hectare. Tagara has no station of its own; the neighboring areas have four stations—Chikatetsu-akatsuka, Hikarigaoka, Nerima-Kasugacho, and Shimo-akatsuka.
Which station is closest depends on which chome you're in: 2-chome is closest to Chikatetsu-akatsuka Station, with rental listings 3 to 7 minutes away on foot. 5-chome is 5 to 12 minutes on foot to Hikarigaoka Station, while 4-chome takes 14 minutes to Chikatetsu-akatsuka.
Greenery ranks 65th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, the highest-ranking category for this neighborhood.
3-chome has the Tagara Area Community Hall, run by Nerima City. The Kokusai Kogyo Bus routes Hikari 01 and Hikari 02, running from Heiwadai Station to Hikarigaoka Station, pass through Tagaracho stop.
In the 2000 agricultural statistics, Tagara had the largest spinach-growing area in Nerima City, though by then farmland was already shrinking due to housing construction.
Public transit ranks 342nd out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, the weakest category for this neighborhood; convenience ranks 304th, also near the bottom.
You have to walk outside the neighborhood to reach a station; from 4-chome it's a 14-minute walk to the nearest station, Chikatetsu-akatsuka.
Tagara is an old place name that already appears in a 1639 land survey register, though its origin is unknown. The area used to be much larger; the side toward Kami-Nerima Village was called "Kami-Tagara," extending all the way to what is now the Hikarigaoka area.
In 1932 this area became Nerima-Tagara-cho; in 1949 "Nerima" was dropped and it became Tagara-cho. In October 1967, the residential address system was implemented, giving rise to the current Tagara 1-chome through 5-chome.

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.
