Quiet low-rise streets next to Shimokitazawa, with a plum festival on the hillside grove in February
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Hanegi Park sits on a small hill, with about 650 plum trees planted across the whole park, and the plum grove is on the southern slope. Every February, the Setagaya Plum Festival is held here.
The area around Setagaya-Daita Station is a low-rise residential area, with no large commercial facilities. The plaza in front of Odakyu's Setagaya-Daita Station is designed around a giant footprint, echoing the legend of a giant behind the Daita place name. Shimokita Senro Gai, built on the former railway land, has a hot spring inn, a nursery school, and a campus of Tokyo University of Agriculture at this end.
Based on our street photos, greenery ranks 201st out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo. Hanegi Park also has an adventure playground, the Nichigetsu-an tea house, and the City-run Umegaoka Library.
Setagaya-Daita Station is served only by Local trains; the next station toward Shinjuku is Shimokitazawa. Shin-Daita Station on the Keio Inokashira Line is also in this neighborhood; inbound trains run via Shimokitazawa to Shibuya, and the station is 3.5 km from Shibuya.
Healthcare ranks 285th, and sidewalks rank 300th, both in the lower range.
Kan-nana (Loop Road 7) passes near Setagaya-Daita Station, running north-south through Daita. Part of the platform at Shin-Daita Station sits right beneath the road surface of Kan-nana.
After the Siege of Odawara in 1590, seven samurai families settled here and cleared the land; they later came to be known as the Seven of Daita. The land that is now Hanegi Park was once called Nezuyama, and the park opened in 1956.
The folklorist Yanagita Kunio wrote in 1927 that there was a hollow here about 180 meters long, shaped like a giant's footprint, and some say this is where the place name comes from. That same year, the station opened under the name Setagaya-Nakahara Station, and it was not renamed to its current name until 1946.
In 2013, the Odakyu Line was moved underground along this stretch, and the vacated railway land was gradually turned into Shimokita Senro Gai starting in 2020, with full opening in 2022. The station plaza, completed in 2021, put that giant footprint back on the ground.

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.

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.
