Where the railway comes to a stop, the Tama River bank is where you walk
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Koremasa Station is the terminus of the Seibu Tamagawa Line - one platform, one line, and the tracks simply end here. The line runs from Musashi-Sakai on the JR Chuo Line, with only 6 stations on the whole line.
The walking path in this neighborhood runs along the Tamagawa embankment, called Fuchu Tamagawa Kaze-no-Michi, about 10 kilometers east to west, open only to pedestrians and bicycles. You can also walk there from the Koremasa 4-chome and 5-chome area; the city manages it as a park, so walking, jogging, and cycling are all fine.
Households in this terminus neighborhood are mostly multi-person households. In 2020, two-thirds of households owned their home, about 15 percentage points higher than Fuchu City as a whole. Single-person households made up about 35%, compared to 44% citywide; the proportion of children under 15 was also slightly higher than the city average.
Greenery ranks 11th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, the strongest category for this neighborhood. From our street photos, cleanliness also ranks 20th.
North of the station is a small shopping street; after the road was widened and extended, apartment buildings and supermarkets became more prominent. To reach JR, besides taking the Tamagawa Line to Musashi-Sakai and transferring to the Chuo Line, you can also head south on Fuchu-kaido from west of the station, cross Koremasa Bridge, and reach Minami-Tama Station on the Nambu Line in about 1 kilometer.
Daily shopping ranks 385th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, and medical and pharmacy access ranks 383rd - the two weakest categories for this neighborhood. From our street photos, building condition ranks 355th, also near the bottom. The entire Tamagawa Line is single-track and doesn't connect to any other Seibu line, so you have to transfer at Musashi-Sakai to reach the JR Chuo Line.
The place name Koremasa is said to come from Ida Settsu-no-kami Koremasa, who developed this area. The Tamagawa here used to be crossed by the Koremasa ferry.
The railway came for the gravel: Tama Railway was established in 1910 specifically to transport gravel from the Tamagawa riverbed, and the line reached Koremasa in June 1922. Around 1952, the dedicated line to the quarry site was discontinued; in 1964 gravel extraction from the Tamagawa was banned, and in 1967 freight operations also ended.
The road crossing the river kept getting wider: a wooden bridge was built at Koremasa Bridge in 1941, replaced with a reinforced concrete bridge in 1957. In 2011, it was widened into a 401-meter cable-stayed bridge. This area used to be very congested, and it only improved after the bridge was widened and the Nambu Line was elevated in 2014.

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.
