Yashio, a reclaimed-land estate ringed by canals and parks, a small town of its own
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Yashio is a danchi housing-estate town built on reclaimed land. On the west the estate faces the Keihin Canal; on the east a greenway park separates the housing from the expressway and the freight terminal.
Reclamation of this land began in 1939, the town name "Yashio" didn't appear until 1980, and in 1983 residents began moving into the Japan Housing Corporation's Yashio Park Town.
As of January 2023 the whole area had 11,588 people, with 5-chome alone accounting for 11,570 of them. The Yashio area center, the library, the post office, and the Patoria Yashio shopping center are all here, as is Yashio Gakuen, a school covering grades 1 through 9.
Looking at our street photos, street cleanliness ranks 8th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, and greenery ranks 16th, both near the very top.
The greenery comes from the greenways surrounding the danchi: the Keihin Canal Greenway Park runs about 2.5 km along the canal, and you can fish there. The Oi Futo Greenway Park on the east side of the estate has a pond, and both greenways connect to it.
For everyday errands, you take the bus: from Yashio Park Town Station, the Toei bus takes about 20 to 25 minutes to Shinagawa Station's Konan exit, and about 10 to 15 minutes to Oimachi Station's east exit; the Keikyu bus takes about 20 to 25 minutes to Omori Station's east exit.
There's no train station within the neighborhood, and in 2020 there were only about 90 people per hectare. 1-chome is a thermal power plant and a cleaning plant, and 4-chome is a park, so neither area has any residents.
To catch a train, you have to walk. The nearest station listed on most real estate listings is Oi Keibajo-mae Station on the Tokyo Monorail, 6 to 18 minutes on foot; the rest list Shinagawa Seaside Station on the Rinkai Line, 10 to 15 minutes.
Public transit ranks 313th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, and everyday shopping ranks 386th, with the shopping center inside the danchi being Patoria Yashio. Looking at our street photos, buildings rank last, the weakest category for this neighborhood.
The green space came before the residents: Keihin Canal Greenway Park opened in 1975, and Oi Futo Greenway Park followed in 1977, both earlier than the 1983 move-in of the danchi.
Yashio's population was 16,588 in 1995 and 11,820 in 2020, yet the number of households barely changed, going from 5,291 to 5,327. During this period, three elementary schools and two junior high schools merged in 2008 to form Yashio Gakuen.
Compared with the 395 Tokyo neighborhoods in this guide (scores 0–10)
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.
