Nearest station to the Edogawa Fireworks Festival, and Tokyo's easternmost stop
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
The west exit of Shinozaki Station connects directly into Shinozaki Twin Place, an 18-story building that includes housing, with the Shinozaki Culture Plaza, which has a library, on the 3rd floor. There's also a Summit supermarket in the same building, so you can borrow books and buy groceries all in one place. Once you step outside this station-front block, it's all residential streets beyond.
Every year on the first Saturday of August, the Edogawa City Fireworks Festival is held on the banks of the Edogawa River, and Shinozaki Station is the closest station to the venue. The festival has been held since 1976, with about 14,000 fireworks launched each time.
Shinozaki Station is the easternmost station in Tokyo; beyond the riverbank is the Edogawa River, and on the other side is Ichikawa City in Chiba Prefecture. Shinozaki Pony Land, on the riverbank, is within the neighborhood, while Tokyo Metropolitan Shinozaki Park is outside it.
Healthcare ranks 382nd, the weakest category for this neighborhood; public transit ranks only 363rd. Express trains normally don't stop at Shinozaki, so you can only take the Local; the last train bound from the Shinjuku direction that passes Ojima only runs as far as the previous station, Mizue.
On the day of the fireworks festival, the north exit and west exit are closed before and after the event starts, and entry is further restricted after it ends. In 2020, this neighborhood had about 136 people per hectare.
Most of this neighborhood's rating squares fall on the residential streets away from the station front, with very few squares right around the station, so the rankings above shouldn't be taken directly as a sense of the station-front area.
The character for "small clustering bamboo" (shino) is where Shinozaki is generally thought to get its name, from "land on a sandbar covered with shino bamboo". In 1889, the surrounding villages merged to form Shinozaki Village, and when Edogawa City was established in 1932, it was split again into several towns such as Kami-Shinozaki and Shimo-Shinozaki.
In 1969, the area around Shinozaki Station was designated as an area for land readjustment, but it was one of the slower-developing parts of Edogawa City, and things didn't get moving until the Shinjuku Line was extended eastward. The station opened in 1986, and remained the terminus until the line was extended to Motoyawata in 1989. The west exit's Twin Place opened in 2008, and won the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Award for the model use of land.
In the Shinozaki Park area outside the neighborhood, the national government, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and Edogawa City are working together to raise the super levee of the Edogawa River and Shinozaki Park into a connected elevated platform. Once completed, it can serve as an emergency refuge when flooding occurs; the target is for completion around the end of fiscal year 2035.

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.
