01First impressions

Umeyashiki Station is an elevated Keikyu station, with platform walls painted pale pink and decorated with plum blossoms. Shops have lined the area around the station since the late Taisho era, growing into today's shopping street of about 555 meters with around 140 stores.

On the other side is the Umeyashiki Higashidori shopping street, with the two shopping streets flanking the station. The station's name comes from a nearby shop called "Umeyashiki," which sold cold medicine and was also known for its plum blossom viewing.

This neighborhood covers Omori-Naka 2- and 3-chome, Omori-Nishi 6- and 7-chome, Kita-Kojiya 1- and 2-chome, Kamata 2-chome, Higashi-Kamata 1-chome, and Omori-Minami 1-chome. In 2020 it had a population of about 26,000, or about 231 people per hectare.

02What works

Medical care and pharmacies rank 103rd out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, near the top; daily shopping ranks 151st, in the middle of the pack.

The neighboring stations are Omorimachi on one side and Keikyu Kamata on the other. In fiscal 2024, the average daily ridership was 16,426 boardings and alightings. South of the station is the Ota City General Gymnasium.

03Heads-up

From our street photos, greenery ranks 378th, and street cleanliness ranks 383rd, both toward the bottom.

Aside from the strip along Sangyo-doro, all of Kita-Kojiya is zoned quasi-industrial; at the southern end, Omori-Minami 1-chome is part of Omori-Minami, where most of the land is in industrial use.

TidyMap ran its own estimate, taking points roughly every 40 meters within the neighborhood on the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan's flood inundation hazard map (maximum assumed scale). Over 90% of the points fall within the projected flood zone, mostly at depths of 0.5 to 3 meters. Please check Ota City's hazard map for your specific address.

04A bit of history

Umeyashiki Park lies outside the neighborhood, to the south in Kamata 3-chome: in the early Bunsei era, the Wachusan shop in Kamata ran a plum garden that became famous under the name Umeyashiki. Emperor Meiji made nine imperial visits between 1868 and 1897, and in 1873, while viewing the plum blossoms, he planted a small plum tree with his own hands.

In 1933, this plum garden was designated and preserved as a "Site of Emperor Meiji's Sacred Traces". When the station opened in 1901, it was just a streetside stop, and it wasn't until 2012 that it became fully elevated.

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
