01First impressions

Most of Tatsumi 1-chome is the Tokyo Metropolitan Tatsumi 1-chome Apartments, commonly known as Tatsumi Danchi. The complex was built in the 1960s, with buildings numbered from Building 1 to Building 104, totaling 3,326 units, and has been undergoing staged rebuilding since fiscal 2013.

Next door, Tatsumi 2-chome is home to the roughly 20.7-hectare Tatsumi-no-Mori Seaside Park, which has a dog park, a barbecue plaza, and a multi-purpose plaza. The park's main facilities also include the Tokyo Aquatics Centre and the Tokyo Tatsumi Ice Arena; the straight-line distance from the center of the danchi to the Tokyo Aquatics Centre is about 450 meters.

Come out of Exit 1 of Tatsumi Station, and the main gate of Tatsumi Elementary School is right in front of you.

02What works

From our street photos, street cleanliness ranks 10th and greenery ranks 10th, both near the top — the two best-ranked categories in this neighborhood.

Sidewalks rank 26th, also near the top. For commuting, take the Yurakucho Line; the platform at Tatsumi Station is on B3F, with escalators and elevators up to the ticket gates.

03Heads-up

For daily shopping, it ranks 380th among 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, near the bottom. Healthcare ranks last, the weakest category in this neighborhood.

Public transit ranks 261st, also near the bottom. From our street photos, buildings rank 384th, also near the bottom.

1-chome has 8,702 residents, more than 80% of the whole neighborhood's population. Yet of the 35 street-photo grid squares used for scoring, 16 are in 2-chome, which is mostly park and home to less than 20% of the population, so a good part of the cleanliness and greenery rankings actually reflect the area around the park.

Based on the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan's flood inundation hazard map (maximum assumed scale), TidyMap sampled points roughly every 40 meters within the neighborhood and calculated the figures itself; about 50% fall within the flood inundation hazard area, mostly under 0.5 meters, followed by 0.5 to 3 meters. To check your own address, use Koto City's hazard map; the five Koto-area wards also jointly publish a large-scale flood hazard map and a wide-area evacuation plan.

04A bit of history

The place name Tatsumi comes from its location in the tatsumi direction, that is, the southeast, from the Imperial Palace. In the 1960s, the danchi was built in 1-chome.

In 1988, Tatsumi Station on the Yurakucho Line opened.

05What's coming

After redevelopment, Tatsumi Danchi will go from 5 stories to as many as 14 stories, consolidating the residents into fewer buildings.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is studying how to use the land freed up by the redevelopment; Koto City plans to set out neighborhood development guidelines for the Tatsumi area sometime after fiscal 2028.

How are these measured?

Compared against the Tokyo neighborhoods in this guide; metrics without enough data are not ranked. Shopping counts convenience stores plus the nearer of a supermarket or a traditional market (public and private retail markets); night markets, vendor zones and shopping-street shops are not counted. Transit is rail-first with a lower weight for buses.

TidyMap rates the street environment and everyday convenience. It does not assess the home itself, safety, noise or actual living experience. About data limits
