An old shopping street in front of the station, and down the escarpment slope, the weeping cherry trees of Togo-ji
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
In front of Tama-Reien Station is an old shopping street, sandwiched between Koshu-kaido to the north and the Fuchu escarpment to the south. Most of the shops are long-established, with izakaya, convenience stores, and small food shops, and around the station there are also scattered direct-sale stands selling local vegetables.
Leaving the station and heading south along Togoji-dori, you pass through the shopping street and down the slope of the escarpment; halfway along is Togo-ji, about a 5-minute walk away. The weeping cherry trees in front of the gate bloom earlier than Somei Yoshino, nearing full bloom by late March. The design of the station building is meant to evoke the mountain gate of Togo-ji.
In 2020, more than half of the households in this neighborhood were single-person households, and about 60% of residents rented privately owned homes, both figures higher than for Fuchu City as a whole. People aged 20 to 34 made up about 20%, also more than the citywide figure.
From our street photos, greenery ranks 124th among 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, the best-ranked category for this neighborhood; cleanliness ranks 160th, also in the middle of the pack. Public transit ranks 104th; the Keio Line's Rapid trains have also stopped at this station since 2013.
Togo-ji sits right in the middle of a walking path running east-west along the Fuchu escarpment. One end leads to Minami-Shiraitodai Elementary School outside the neighborhood, and the other end leads to the JRA Racing Museum, also outside the neighborhood.
Daily shopping ranks 325th among 395 neighborhoods, and healthcare ranks 323rd, the two lowest-ranked categories for this neighborhood. Buildings rank 299th, also near the bottom.
The old buildings along the shopping street are gradually being rebuilt and changing hands, and storefronts are also expanding to the north side of the station. As the surrounding residential area develops, apartments and detached houses are gradually increasing in number.
This area was the center of the former Tama Village, with the village office located on the north side of the station. In 1916, Keio Electric Tramway established Tama Station here.
In 1923, Tokyo City's Tama Graveyard opened, and in 1932 the station was renamed Shi-Koen-Bochimae. In 1934, Togo Heihachiro was buried in the cemetery, and the cemetery's reputation spread, greatly increasing the number of people using it.
In 1935, the graveyard was renamed Tama Reien Cemetery, and in 1937 the station was also officially named Tama-Reien. In 1939, the Togo family donated the site of their former farm villa here, and Togo-ji was built on it; the cemetery itself is still about 1.5 kilometers to the north.

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.
