A reclaimed island ringed by the Sumida River and canals, where factories and warehouses have become high-rise flats
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Kachidoki straddles two reclaimed islands, with the Sumida River to the northwest and the Asashio Canal to the southeast. After Kachidoki Station opened in 2000, the factories and warehouses on the island were redeveloped one by one into high-rise apartments.
The proportion of children living on the island is now higher than in Chuo City overall: in 2020, about 27,000 people lived in this neighborhood, with 17% under 15, compared to 14% citywide. Households of three or more people make up about 30%, compared to just over 20% for Chuo City overall.
Chome 5 has the most children, with one in five residents under 15. The area has small parks like Tsukishima No. 2 Children's Park and Kachidoki Gochome Shinsui Park.
From our street photos, sidewalks rank 1st among Tokyo's 395 neighborhoods, the strongest ranking for this neighborhood. The buildings on the street rank 11th, while convenience of daily life ranks 64th.
The only railway in the area is a single station, Kachidoki Station on the Oedo Line, located under the intersection of Kiyosumi-dori and Harumi-dori.
In 2020, about 538 people lived per hectare in this neighborhood. The station is crowded, with more than 90,000 people passing through daily in fiscal 2024, and guards direct the crowds during weekday morning rush hour.
To ease congestion, the station began using new platforms starting in 2019, with the work fully completed in June 2020. The redevelopment of the Kachidoki East district in chome 2 and 4 is scheduled to finish construction in May 2029.
Chome 1 through 4 are built on Tsukishima No. 2 reclaimed land, created from dredging Tokyo Bay between the Meiji and Taisho eras, while chome 5 and 6 are on a separate island. In 1905, to commemorate the capture of Port Arthur, someone opened the Kachidoki Ferry, running between Tsukiji and Tsukishima.
Kachidoki Bridge was completed in 1940, with a center section that could lift open to let large ships pass; the last time it opened was in 1970. The bridge itself is outside this neighborhood; it has been lit up at night since 1998, and was designated an Important Cultural Property in 2007.
The neighborhood's name comes from this bridge; since the character for "war cry" (doki) is not among the commonly used kanji, when the neighborhood name was officially set in 1965, it was written in hiragana instead.
The Kachidoki East district is about 200 meters south of the station, covering roughly 3.7 hectares. The plan calls for about 3,201 housing units, mostly family-sized, with around 1,505 units having three or four bedrooms.
The same district is planned to include a nursery school and a sports facility open to the community, as well as a pedestrian route connecting the station's underground passage to a pedestrian bridge. The whole project is scheduled to run until January 2031.

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.
