Kawasaki City, where "Musashi Kosugi" station is located, achieved "zero waiting children" last year. An environment that makes it easy to raise children is also a popular secret.

◆ The second place is "Meguro" station where the residential area spreads. The JR Yamanote Line, Tokyu Meguro Line, Toei Mita Line, and Tokyo Metro Namboku Line are four lines that are very convenient for transportation.

There is a lot of nature around Meguro Station, such as parks and the Meguro River, and large-scale complex facilities are being developed in front of the station. It is likely to attract more attention in the future toward completion at the end of 2017.

◆ Ogikubo Station, which has two lines, the JR Chuo Line and the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line, ranked first in the popular station ranking. It is also famous as a ramen battleground and is a city where many cultural people live.

The reason for its popularity is its high convenience. Within 10 minutes to Koenji, Kichijoji, and Nakano, you can easily reach Akihabara, making it a perfect city for both those who want to enhance their hobbies and those who work in the city center. In addition, there are plenty of commercial facilities and shopping streets in front of the station, making it suitable for students and families.


Until now, Kichijoji was the most popular city in Tokyo, but surprisingly, it was out of the ranking in 2015. Is it because a large commercial facility has been built in front of the station and it is becoming more and more convenient, but the deep atmosphere of Kichijoji is disappearing? By the way, in Makihirochi's comic work "Is Kichijoji the only city you want to live in?" To do. In the work, a scene was drawn in which he lamented the closing of the Kichijoji Baus Theater and muttered, "Kichijoji is over."

In addition, "Akabane Station" (4th place), which was the setting for "Akabane, Kita-ku, Tokyo", and "Nishikasai Station" (6th place) in Edogawa Ward, which is suitable for raising children with the ward's unique "Infant Care Allowance". (Rank) and "Hirai Station" (10th) are ranked in.

◆ 3rd place is "JR Sobu Line". Since it extends from the city center to residential areas such as Tokyo and Chiba prefectures, it is also a reason why it is supported that you can search for a room from a wide range of conditions.

◆ The second place is "JR Yamanote Line". The transportation convenience is outstanding, and the congestion of commuter trains has been eased with the opening of the Ueno Tokyo Line. The rent market is high, but the rent difference is large, and you can rent a rental property at a reasonable price depending on the station.

◆ The No. 1 ranking along the popular lines is the "JR Chuo Line," which passes through "Ogikubo Station" and "Nakano Station," which are ranked among the popular stations. The JR Chuo Line, which connects popular areas such as Kichijoji, Koenji, and Asagaya with major stations such as Shinjuku, Iidabashi, and Tokyo, has a wide range of shopping districts and commercial facilities around the stations, and its popularity does not decline. Since there are many universities along the railway line, the fact that rental needs are high and the supply volume is by far the largest led to the result of being number one.

From the 4th place onward, there are many routes connecting the city center with residential areas in Tokyo and Kanagawa prefecture. There are many universities along the line, and it seems that the point is that the demand for students is high.


The ranking is a compilation of the number of accesses to each station / line page of the "O-uccino" rental site. The aggregation period was from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015.
