A residential area said to be named for the white flag the Genji planted, where Hataoka Hachiman Shrine still holds its sweet sake festival

Hatanodai Station is built on a slope: the Oimachi Line platform sits on the upper level, and the Ikegami Line platform follows the slope down to the lower level, with the two lines crossing above and below each other here. The Ikegami Line platform was renovated in a wood-style design in 2019, and in fiscal 2021 it even won a Good Design Award. Hataoka Hachiman Shrine in 3-chome is where the place name "Hatanodai" comes from.
Coming out of the station, several small shopping streets branch out around it. Beyond the shopping streets it's mostly a residential area, and the only tall buildings are along Nakahara Kaido.
Of those living in these back streets, in 2020 six out of ten households were single-person households, and more than half were renters. Nearly 30% live in detached houses, which is higher than Shinagawa City as a whole.
Beyond the shopping streets, AEON Town Hatanodai opened in 2-chome at the end of 2022, with an organic supermarket, a drugstore, and several clinics across its 3 floors. Healthcare ranks 15th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, the highest-ranking category for this neighborhood. Showa Medical University and its affiliated hospital are both in 1-chome.
Back at the station, the Oimachi Line's Express stops here, and transferring to the Ikegami Line is via escalator and elevator, without having to leave the ticket gates. Based on our street photos, buildings rank 51st out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo.
Despite having two lines, transit ranks only 171st out of 395 neighborhoods. Greenery ranks 305th. In 2020, this neighborhood had about 211 residents per hectare.
According to legend, in 1030 Minamoto no Yorinobu led troops to put down the Taira no Tadatsune Rebellion, and camped here en route to worship Hachiman, raising the Minamoto clan's white banner. Both Hataoka Hachiman Shrine and the place name "Hatanodai" trace back to this.
During the Edo period, the shrine held an archery contest every year on February 15, and handed out amazake afterward; the Amazake Festival continues to this day. The ema hall, where visitors hang wooden prayer plaques, is a nationally Registered Tangible Cultural Property.
The two railway lines opened their stations one after another in 1927 — the Oimachi Line's was called Higashi-Senzoku, and the Ikegami Line's was called Hataoka — and they weren't merged into Hatanodai Station until 1951. "Hatanodai" wasn't established as the official town name until the address reorganization of 1965.

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.

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.
