An old shopping street between Koshu-kaido and the escarpment, with Togo-ji Temple's weeping cherries beside the slope
In front of Tama-Reien Station is an old shopping street, with Koshu-kaido to the north, the Fuchu escarpment to the south, and housing all around. Most of the shops are old-established ones—izakaya, convenience stores, and small grocery shops—with farm stands selling local vegetables scattered nearby, and also shops selling taiko drums and shamisen. The station name contains "Reien," meaning cemetery, but the cemetery itself isn't beside the station: heading north along Togoji-dori in front of the station, it's still about 1.5 km further. Heading south, Togoji-dori goes down the slope of the escarpment, and halfway down is Togo-ji Temple.
Togo-ji Temple was founded in 1939 on the former site of Fleet Admiral Togo Heihachiro's farm villa. The main gate was designed by architect Ito Chuta, completed in 1940, and in fiscal year 2010 was selected as a Tokyo Metropolitan Historic Building. The weeping cherry saplings in front of the gate came from Kuon-ji on Mount Minobu, and bloom earlier than Somei Yoshino, nearing full bloom by late March. Togo Heihachiro himself was buried at Tama-Reien in 1934, and as the cemetery's reputation spread, far more people began using it. Back in the residential area, greenery ranks 75th among Tokyo's 219 neighborhoods, the best ranking for this neighborhood. Keio Line Rapid trains also stop here, though only since 2013.
Although there are 4 supermarkets within a 10-minute walk, even the closest one is about 600 metres away, and daily shopping ranks only 198th among Tokyo's 219 neighborhoods.
In 1916, Keio Electric Tramway set up "Tama Station" here. In 1923, the City of Tokyo's Tama Cemetery opened, and in 1932 the station was renamed "Shi-Koen-Bochimae". In 1934, Togo Heihachiro was buried in the cemetery, and in 1935 the cemetery was renamed Tama-Reien; the station was also given the name "Tama-Reien" in 1937. In 1939, Togo-ji Temple was built on the former site of his villa. In 2010, the station got a new building above the tracks, and a new south exit was added at the same time; Rapid trains have stopped here since 2013.
