Mizue, a district replanned around its station, home to Yakushadera, the "Actors' Temple" where famous kabuki actors rest
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
The neighborhood around Mizue Station was replanned with the station at its center. Even the town name "Mizue" is quite new — Mizue 4-chome was only split off in 2014. About a 10-minute walk from the station, Daiun-ji Temple in Mizue 4-chome is the burial place of generations of famous kabuki actors such as Nakamura Kanzaburo and Matsumoto Koshiro, which is why it's also called Yakusha-dera (the "Actors' Temple").
A 1-minute walk from the south exit is La Park Mizue, which houses both a Summit supermarket and a Don Quijote. The Don Quijote is open until 1am.
Judging from our street photos, cleanliness ranks 50th and greenery ranks 101st, out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, making them the two highest-ranked items for this neighborhood.
The station is on the Toei Shinjuku Line, whose starting point is Shinjuku, so you can get to Shinjuku directly with no transfer. For commuting you can only take the Local, since the Express doesn't stop at Mizue. However, since March 2024, the scheduled Local trains no longer wait at this station for the Express to pass.
Public transit ranks 375th, the weakest item for this neighborhood; healthcare is also only ranked 360th. Judging from our street photos, sidewalks rank 262nd. The last train coming from the Shinjuku direction past Ojima terminates at Mizue.
In 1889, villages including Shimokamata and Maeno merged to form Mizuho Village, named after the rice paddies that covered the area at the time. In 1913, it combined one character each with Ichinoe Village to become Mizue Village.
The tutelary shrine of the former Shimokamata Village was Toyoda Shrine, where there is a fuji-zuka about 3 meters tall, said to have been built by the village's Fuji-ko (a Mt. Fuji worship association). It's one of ten fuji-zuka registered as cultural properties by Edogawa City.
In 1969, the area around Mizue and Shinozaki stations was designated as land that should be replanned, yet development there lagged behind the rest of Edogawa City. It wasn't until the Toei Shinjuku Line was extended eastward that the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Edogawa City used the line's construction to push the replanning forward, setting a roughly 120-hectare area centered on the station. Mizue Station opened in September 1986, and when the station building opened, it already had banks, shops, and restaurants moving in.

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.
