Flat land by the Tama River north of Yomiuriland Station, pear orchards tucked between houses, selling pears from late summer
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
North of Keio Yomiuriland Station is flat land along the Tama River, where homes and pear orchards are the main land uses here. Inagi's pears are in season from mid-August to mid-October; the variety named after the city, "Inagi," is almost all sold directly, and rarely seen on the market. In 2012 there were 70 farm direct-sale stands citywide, almost all selling pears and grapes, with the Yanokuchi area having the most at 22.
In 2020, in most of the blocks within this neighborhood, a little over 40% of households were single-person households, and nearly half were renters, both higher than the Inagi City average. JR Yanokuchi Station and Keio Yomiuriland Station on the southern border of the neighborhood are about a 15-minute walk apart, connected in between by the Benten-dori shopping street.
From our street photos, greenery ranks 225th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, a relatively good score for this neighborhood. The Amelia Inagi shopping center here is centered around a supermarket, and also has a bookstore and a hundred-yen store.
On the Keio side, most trains connect to the Keio Line at Chofu, running through to Shinjuku. JR Yanokuchi Station had about 9,100 boardings per day in fiscal 2024, more than Inagi-Naganuma Station, where Rapid trains stop.
Since 2014, Nambu Line Rapid trains have not stopped at Yanokuchi, and on the Keio side, Special Express and Express trains also do not stop at Yomiuriland Station. Public transit ranks 304th out of 395 neighborhoods. Daily shopping ranks 391st, and healthcare ranks 387th, the two weakest scores for this neighborhood.
In the Kamakura period, the area from Daimaru to Yanokuchi was the territory of the samurai Inage clan, and was then called Ozawa-go. The Nambu Railway opened in 1927, with Yanokuchi Station opening then; Keio Yomiuriland Station opened in 1971.
Tsurukawa-kaido, the street next to Yanokuchi Station, used to have only a single traffic lane, no sidewalks, and a railroad crossing, so it was often congested. Between 2004 and 2005, the station was elevated, and the street was widened at the same time.
Land readjustment covering about 16.8 hectares around JR Yanokuchi Station has been underway since fiscal 1992, and the city has scheduled completion for fiscal 2044. The south side station plaza has been completed, and work is now underway on the north side. Nearly 400 houses need to be relocated, and about half had been moved by the end of fiscal 2025.
Giants Town, on the hills south of the Keio Line, is outside this neighborhood; its stadium opened first in March 2025. Construction on the aquarium in the same complex began in January 2025, and it is scheduled to open in mid-2027.

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.
