Hometown of the creator of Captain Tsubasa, with a bronze statue of Ozora Tsubasa standing in the park
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Yotsugi is the hometown of Takahashi Yoichi, the author of the manga Captain Tsubasa. The shopping street north of Yotsugi Station is named Tsubasa-dori, and beside the road, Yotsugi Tsubasa Park has a bronze statue of the main character Ozora Tsubasa.
Since fiscal year 2012, Katsushika City Office has put up 9 character bronze statues one after another in parks in Yotsugi and neighboring Tateishi. Among the houses in Yotsugi, small and medium factories doing things like gold plating are still scattered about.
South of the station is already Higashi-Yotsugi, and the Shibue shopping street is on this side. The areas on both sides run together and are commonly called "Yotsugi". In 2020 about 24,000 people lived in this neighborhood.
From our street photos, greenery ranks 189th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, in the middle of the pack, which is the highest-ranking item for this neighborhood. Street cleanliness ranks 225th, also in the middle of the pack.
Yotsugi Station is an elevated station on the Keisei Oshiage Line; inbound trains head toward Oshiage and on to the Toei Asakusa Line and Keikyu Line, with Oshiage only 3.1 kilometers away. Buses in front of the station go to Shin-Koiwa Station.
From our street photos, buildings rank 378th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, which is the weakest item for this neighborhood. Convenience of daily life ranks 306th, also in the latter part, with one shopping street each on the north and south sides of the station.
Based on the largest-scale flood scenario maps from the Geospatial Information Authority, we sampled points roughly every 40 meters within the neighborhood and calculated for ourselves; about seventy percent of the points fall within the flood inundation zone, almost all at 3 meters or more. The points that don't fall within it are all in the chome along the western edge that includes the Arakawa River channel.
If a major typhoon storm surge hits, or the Arakawa and Edogawa rivers flood at the same time, Katsushika City Office's policy is to evacuate in advance to higher ground outside Katsushika City that won't flood.
There are various theories about the origin of the Yotsugi place name, but what's certain is that in the early Edo period, "Yotsugi Shinden Village" split off from the surrounding area. After Keisei opened and the station was built in 1912, and a celluloid factory started operations in 1914, factories gradually gathered here.
Later, when the Arakawa Drainage Channel was dug: Kinegawa Yakushi, said to have been founded in 849, was relocated in 1919 from about 600 meters to the northwest to its current site; Yotsugi Station also moved to its current location in 1923.
In Higashi-Yotsugi 1-chome there is a section that is the former course of the Nakagawa River before the drainage channel was dug.
The Keisei Oshiage Line is being converted to an elevated line for about 2.2 kilometers from Yotsugi Station eastward to Aoto, with the project running until March 2031. Once completed, it will eliminate 11 railway crossings.

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.
