Once a factory district, now a street of skywalks linking towers and high-rise apartments
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Before the 1980s this area was a factory district, and hardly anyone came here except factory workers. After redevelopment, ThinkPark was built on the former site of Meidensha, and the streets gained restaurants, supermarkets, and rows of high-rise apartments.
Out through the ticket gates at Osaki Station, a pedestrian overpass connects directly to buildings like Gate City Osaki and ThinkPark. Heading into the city on the Saikyo Line or the Shonan-Shinjuku Line, you can reach Shibuya or Shinjuku with no transfer.
Going by our street photos, greenery ranks 65th, near the top. On the west side, Osaki Nishiguchi Park opened in 2014 along with the redevelopment.
For everyday shopping, it ranks 57th among 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo. Right next to the station is JR's rolling stock center, so some Yamanote Line trains depart from Osaki.
For healthcare, it ranks 138th among 395 neighborhoods, the weakest category for this neighborhood. On the east side, Osaki 1-chome still has an old district of about 4.6 hectares, with many narrow streets without sidewalks and dead ends, and nearly 40% of the buildings predate current earthquake-resistance standards.
In 1889, five villages including Kami-Osaki and Shimo-Osaki merged to form Osaki Village, and Osaki Station opened in 1901. In 1982, Tokyo designated this area as a secondary business district, and in 1987 Osaki New City was completed on the east side, marking the start of redevelopment here.
In 2002, the Rinkai Line was extended here, and the pace of redevelopment picked up as well. In 2015, Park City Osaki opened in Kita-Shinagawa 5-chome, with seven buildings including super high-rise residential towers.
That old district is Osaki Station East Exit District 4, and in November 2025 the City's city planning council voted in favor of this redevelopment plan by a majority. The housing target is around 1,250 units, aimed at families with children, along with a park in the center of the district and a park along the Meguro River where boats can dock. The station's pedestrian overpass is also planned to be extended there; platform doors are scheduled to be installed by 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.
