Shibasaki, a small station with no station-front plaza, where greengrocers and little bars line the way right up to the ticket gates
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Shibasaki Station has no plaza out front; along the narrow street are greengrocers, barbershops, ramen shops, and izakaya, with storefronts lining the way right up to the ticket gates. There are especially many independently run Chinese restaurants and tachinomi (stand-and-drink) bars.
The north exit also has an old sento called Jindai-yu, and sento like this are becoming rarer in Chofu City. In October 2025, Keio Corporation and local operators ran a trial at Jindai-yu involving cleaning and promotion, aiming to draw new customers from outside the area to the sento.
Kikunodai, where the station sits, is a quiet residential area, bordered on the south by the Nogawa River, which marks the edge of the neighborhood. Before the train pulls into the station, the platform plays a song called "Goodbye to This Day".
Green coverage ranks 52nd out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, the highest-ranked category for this neighborhood. Shibasaki has Shibasaki Park and Uenohara Park, bordered to the north by Jindaiji-Minamimachi and Jindaiji-Higashimachi; Jindaiji itself is not within the neighborhood.
Kitera Town Chofu, in Kikunodai 1-chome, is about a 4-minute walk from Shibasaki Station. Inside are a Life supermarket, Daiso, a drugstore, and restaurants.
Public transit ranks 340th out of 395 neighborhoods, toward the lower end: Shibasaki Station is served only by Local trains, with no station plaza and no buses coming in. The station has no elevator, so changing platforms means using the stairs in the underpass, or crossing the railroad crossing. Healthcare ranks 311th, also toward the lower end.
During the morning and evening rush, the railroad crossing by the station often stays closed for a long time, and people wait in crowds by the ticket gates. Chofu City's plan to elevate this stretch of the Keio Line only received approval from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in April 2026, and still has to go through the city planning process, so there's no completion schedule yet.
The station opened in 1913 on the north side of Koshu Kaido, named after a nearby area called Shibayama. In 1927 the station moved to the south side of the road, which is why today's station sits in Kikunodai, while the name Shibasaki remained attached to the area to the north.
In 1968, Chofu City's only bowling alley opened on the site that would later become a shopping center, and it closed in 2014 due to earthquake resistance regulations. A shopping center was built on the site in 2017, and it was renamed Kitera Town Chofu in 2020. During the same period, other Keio stations in Chofu City were rebuilt one after another, but Shibasaki Station never received station improvements, and by 2022 it was the only station in Chofu City still keeping this old structure.

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.
