A straight road to Tokyo Racecourse, where the Japan Cup is held, with an arcade over the pavement by the station
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
The level crossing on the west side of Higashi-Fuchu Station is where Keibajo-dori crosses the Keio Line; heading south from here is a straight road that runs all the way to Tokyo Racecourse outside the neighborhood, where the Japan Cup is held. Along this stretch near the south exit, the east sidewalk is covered by an arcade with shops packed close together, while the west side is mostly supermarkets.
Through the arcade are the post office and the Shimizugaoka Community Hall; heading east from there are small parks and small shops, and beyond that is the Fuchu Escarpment. Outside these few streets, it's mainly a residential area.
In 2020, about 47% of households in this neighborhood were single-person households, and about 48% were renters, both higher than for Fuchu City as a whole. Residents in their twenties and thirties made up about 26%, while those 65 and older made up only about 18%, three percentage points less than the city as a whole.
Hachimancho sits on the Musashino Plateau at an elevation of about 55 meters, on solid ground; it's rated the lowest risk level on Fuchu City's earthquake hazard map. Based on our street photos, greenery ranks 34th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, the highest-ranking category for this neighborhood.
Higashi-Fuchu Station became an elevated station building in 2011, and the same year the in-station shopping complex Keio Litnade Higashi-Fuchu opened. About a 10-minute walk north is Fuchu no Mori Park outside the neighborhood, home to the Fuchu Art Museum.
On race weekends and holidays, people heading home walk all the way from the racecourse's east gate to Higashi-Fuchu Station. Around Fuchukeiba-seimonmae Station, the terminus of the branch line, the streets are mostly narrow residential roads that get crowded on race days.
In 2020, this neighborhood had about 133 people per hectare. In our street photos, buildings rank 371st, the weakest category for this neighborhood; healthcare ranks only 367th.
Hachimancho takes its name from Musashi Kokufu Hachiman Shrine within the neighborhood; in the Edo period, Hachimanjuku here was a settlement of farmers who worked land belonging to Okunitama Shrine. In 1916, Hachimanmae Station opened north of the shrine.
In 1933, Tokyo Racecourse relocated here from Meguro, and in 1935 a temporary Keibajo-mae Station opened at the site of what is now Higashi-Fuchu Station. In 1940, the two stations merged into today's Higashi-Fuchu Station; in 1955, the Keibajo Line opened, and from then on the branch line had to cross the approach to the shrine.
The area around Higashi-Fuchu Station is designated as a priority barrier-free improvement zone by Fuchu City. Traffic signals at Kyu-Koshu-Kaido and Heiwa-dori are scheduled to have audio signals added between fiscal years 2025 and 2034, to ensure enough time for pedestrians to cross on the green light.

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.
