Hilly residential streets dotted with old-house restaurants, plus Japan's largest mosque
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Yoyogi-Uehara Station sits on an elevated track, with the Uehara Ekimae shopping street right in front of it. The area is dotted with restaurants set in old folk houses, international eateries, cafes, old-school diners, and flower shops that open only on weekends. Walk over to Oyama-cho and you'll find Tokyo Camii, a mosque rebuilt in Ottoman style.
Individually run select shops and general stores are also tucked away on these same streets. The ground in this neighborhood rises from about 22 meters at its lowest to about 42 meters at its highest, and the residential streets are laid out across this 20-meter rise and fall. The share of households with three or more people is higher than the Shibuya City average, and more than 40% of homes are owner-occupied.
Transit is a strength of this neighborhood: among 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, it ranks 34th for public transit. The Chiyoda Line starts from this station and runs through to the Odakyu Line, so heading east to Omotesando, Kasumigaseki, and Otemachi all require no transfer.
The mosque is open to non-Muslim visitors, with free guided tours on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays starting at 2:30pm. Nishihara 2-chome is home to Yoyogi Oyama Park, the largest park run by Shibuya City. Nearby is also the Nishihara Greenway, built along the former route of the Tamagawa Josui waterway.
For healthcare, it ranks 215th among 395 neighborhoods. In 2020, about 185 people lived per hectare in this neighborhood. Based on our street photos, sidewalks rank 265th among 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo; the difference between the highest and lowest points within the neighborhood is about 20 meters.
When the station opened in 1927, it was called Yoyohata-Uehara; it wasn't renamed to its current name until 1941. In 1976 the Odakyu tracks were elevated, and two years later the Chiyoda Line reached here, beginning through-service.
Tokyo Camii was completed in Oyama-cho in 1938; it was demolished in 1986 due to age, and rebuilt in 2000, making it Japan's largest mosque. The Koga Masao Museum of Music in Uehara 3-chome stands on the former site of the residence where this composer lived from 1932, and opened in 1997.

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.
