Long shopping streets stretch north and south of the station, the one on the south side following the old Kawagoe Kaido
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
As soon as you step out of the South Exit, you walk straight into the arcade of the Happy Road Oyama shopping street. This shopping street has about 200 stores, with roughly 30,000 people passing through a day, and its slogan is "A lifelong relationship with you".
The North Exit leads to another shopping street, Yuza Oyama, about 550 meters long, with the slogan "This street is really great".
Among Tokyo's 395 neighborhoods, healthcare ranks 48th here, the highest ranking of any category for this neighborhood.
From Ikebukuro, take the Tobu Tojo Line Local, three stops, about five minutes, to Oyama Station. Express and Semi Express trains both pass through this station without stopping.
Around the station, a project is underway to elevate the Tobu Tojo Line. In 2020, this neighborhood had about 248 people per hectare.
The shopping street is changing too: the urban planning road Hojo No. 26 will turn about a third of the shopping street into a road. In March 2024, 9 shop owners filed a court petition to halt part of the arcade's demolition. The City office has also opened a consultation window for residents who need to relocate.
From our street photos, buildings rank 289th and greenery ranks 329th, both in the lower range.
Happy Road's origins lie in the stores that formed along the old Kawagoe Kaido before the war, and the over 100 black market stalls that gathered around the station after the war.
In 1977 the two shopping streets merged, said to be partly in order to use the arcade to block the Hojo No. 26 widening plan. The arcade was completed in April the following year.
At the spot where the road crosses the shopping street, the redevelopment building Cross Oyama was fully completed in December 2024. Further west, around Piccolo Square, two 28-story residential towers with a total of 571 units are planned, scheduled for completion by the end of 2033.
Near the station, about 1.6 kilometers of the Tobu Tojo Line around Oyama Station will be elevated; the project period runs until March 2031, and once completed, the 8 railway crossings along this stretch will disappear.

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.
