Last stop on the Tokyo side by the Tama River, with Yomiuri Land visible from the platform across the water
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Izumi-tamagawa Station is the last station on the Tokyo side of the Odakyu Line before it crosses the Tamagawa; the next station, Noborito, is already in Kawasaki City. From the platform on the river side, you can see Noborito Station and Yomiuri Land on the opposite bank.
Near the station, on the Tamagawa riverbed (outside the neighborhood), stands a stone monument commemorating the 1974 levee collapse. North of the ticket gates on the Noborito side is the station-front roundabout, which connects to Setagaya-dori.
Around the west exit is the Izumi-tamagawa shopping street. Under the elevated tracks is Odakyu Marché, and both inside and outside the station, the main color is pale green.
In 2020, about half of households in this neighborhood were single-person households, slightly more than Komae City as a whole. Nearly half of the homes are rented, and people in their twenties and thirties make up about 26%.
Starting in March 2025, Semi Express trains also stop at this station, and all of these Semi Express trains run through directly to the Chiyoda Line. Based on our street photos, greenery ranks 204th among 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo. Cleanliness ranks 143rd, the highest-ranked category for this neighborhood, with both of these ranking in the top 40%.
Daily shopping ranks 372nd and healthcare ranks 363rd, the two weakest categories for this neighborhood. Buildings rank 316th and sidewalks rank 295th, also toward the bottom. The Inogata area (partly outside the neighborhood), along the Tamagawa, has had its levee collapse more than six times in modern history.
The station opened in 1927, and was originally going to be called Tamagawa. But because a station called Inada-Tamagawa was also set to open on the opposite bank — what is now Noborito Station — the place name Izumi was added to the front.
Until the second half of the Showa era, sand and gravel extraction was Komae's main industry; before the early Showa era, the extraction was mainly from the Tamagawa riverbed. Odakyu laid tracks from the east side of this station to the riverbed, pulling carts down to the riverside to extract sand and gravel. Later, so much was extracted that the river's water level dropped noticeably and the ayu sweetfish disappeared, so extraction from the riverbed was banned.
In September 1974, a typhoon brought heavy rain, and about 260 meters of the Tamagawa levee in the Inogata area collapsed, washing away 19 houses. In 1977, screenwriter Yamada Taichi used this flood disaster as the backdrop for the TBS television drama Kishibe no Album (literally "Album on the Riverbank").

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.
