The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Coming out of Minumadai-shinsuikoen Station, to the north is a park that runs along a waterway, with about 70 double-flowered cherry and weeping cherry trees planted along the water. This waterway is the Minumadai Yosui canal, which began carrying water in 1728, and about 1.7 km of it within Adachi City was developed into a park in 1984.
The area around the station is mainly residential, with the Kojiya-honcho area centered on detached houses. In 2020 the neighborhood had about 29,000 people, averaging 2.3 people per household, a bit higher than Adachi City's overall average of 2.0.
Toneri Suwa Shrine holds a children's sumo tournament every year in late August, supported by the nearby Sakaigawa sumo stable.
From our street photos, street cleanliness ranks 50th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, the best ranking in this neighborhood.
Commuting relies on the Nippori-Toneri Liner; both Toneri Station and Minumadai-shinsuikoen Station are elevated stations, and the whole 9.7 km line takes about 20 minutes. At the starting point, Nippori, you can transfer to the JR Yamanote Line, the Keihin-Tohoku Line, and the Keisei Main Line.
Among the apartment buildings listed on real estate websites, those in Toneri 1-chome to 5-chome are shown as 1 to 7 minutes' walk from the nearest station, while from Kojiya-honcho it's 4 to 15 minutes to Toneri Station. In front of Minumadai-shinsuikoen Station there are buses run by three companies, with about half heading to Saitama Prefecture.
Everyday convenience ranks 378th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, and daily shopping ranks 375th, both near the bottom.
The commuting trains are crowded too: the most congested section of the Nippori-Toneri Liner is between Akado-shogakkomae and Nishi-Nippori, near Nippori, with a peak congestion rate of 176% in fiscal 2025. From fiscal 2020 through fiscal 2024, it was the most crowded line in all of Japan for five years running.
Toneri sits on a natural levee built up by the Kenaga River, with an elevation of about 4 to 5 meters, while most of Adachi City is only 1 to 2 meters. In 1871, the surrounding villages were all incorporated into Tokyo Prefecture, but Toneri alone was placed in Saitama Prefecture, throwing water rights into chaos.
Residents of Toneri, Iriya, and Kojiya launched a movement, and Toneri was not incorporated into Tokyo Prefecture until 1875. Land readjustment was completed in 1964, creating Toneri 1-chome through 5-chome, with 6-chome added in 1985.
The Kojiya-honcho area underwent land improvement from 1963 to 1967, and its current town name was not fixed until 1995. The Nippori-Toneri Liner, meanwhile, did not open until 2008.

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.
