✨ What Makes This One So Special?

• 🌿 Calm & Connected Tokyo Living

  Haruechō offers the best of both worlds: quiet, residential charm and excellent city access. Mizue Station (Toei Shinjuku Line) is just 16 minutes on foot, and Ichinoe Station is 18 minutes away. From there, central Tokyo is an easy ride: perfect for commuters or city explorers.

• 🏠 Practical & Comfortable Layout

  This 3DK home includes three bright rooms plus a central dining-kitchen space, with storage in every room. The mix of wooden flooring and tatami rooms keeps the house warm and inviting, while large windows and a bath with a window bring in natural light throughout the day.

• 🍳 Everyday Convenience

  The home sits on a flat, quiet street, making errands easy by foot or bicycle. Within 10 minutes you’ll find supermarkets, shops, and a local elementary school. It’s ideal for families or first-time homeowners looking for low-maintenance comfort.

• 🧺 Thoughtful Features

  Each floor is designed for efficiency, with underfloor storage, good air flow, and a tidy bathroom with window ventilation. Urban gas, city water, and sewer connections ensure modern reliability, while the overall feel remains cozy and home-like.

📍 Living in Edogawa, Tokyo

Edogawa Ward sits at Tokyo’s eastern edge, bordered by the Arakawa and Nakagawa rivers and facing Tokyo Bay to the south. Known for its abundant greenery and open water views, it’s one of Tokyo’s most naturally rich districts.

The ward is served by five major train lines (Toei Shinjuku, Tokyo Metro Tozai, JR Sobu, JR Keiyo, and Keisei Main) connecting residents directly to central Tokyo and Chiba. It’s one of the capital’s most accessible “green zones,” ideal for families, remote workers, and those seeking urban calm.

👋 Welcome to Edogawa

Edogawa Ward offers one of Tokyo’s most balanced lifestyles: green, family-friendly, and deeply community-oriented. With the highest park area per resident among Tokyo’s 23 wards, nature is woven into everyday life, from the expansive Kasai Rinkai Park and Gyosen Park to countless neighborhood playgrounds.

The ward is famously flat and bike-friendly, making it easy to get around by bicycle or on foot. Stations like Kasai even feature some of Japan’s largest underground bike parking areas, emphasizing convenience and accessibility.

Families will also appreciate Edogawa’s excellent childcare network, which has achieved a zero waiting list for nursery schools in recent years (a rare feat in Tokyo). And despite its urban location, the area retains a small-town charm, rooted in traditions like komatsuna farming and celebrated through local festivals, family markets, and active community centers that keep neighborhood life warm and welcoming.
