Studio rents here generally sit below the Nakano Station area. The trade-off is simple: fewer shops and restaurants, but calmer streets, riverside walks and seated morning trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_88 counter-hierarchy

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nakano-fujimicho Station sits in Yayoicho and is the southernmost station in Nakano-ku, close to the border with Suginami-ku. Just west of the station, you are already in Suginami territory. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.athome.co.jp\/town-library\/tokyo\/nakanofujimicho-st\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">At Home<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/relife-search.com\/town\/tokyo\/st_nakanofujimichoeki\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Relife-search<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One detail confuses many newcomers. You will not find &#8220;Fujimicho&#8221; on a modern address label. The area was once called Fujimicho because Mount Fuji was visible from its high ground, but the town name was changed to Yayoicho in 1967. Today the old name survives only in the station. <a href=\"https:\/\/relife-search.com\/town\/tokyo\/st_nakanofujimichoeki\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Relife-search<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So when you search listings, look for these address names instead: Yayoicho, Honcho, Wada and Minamidai. SUUMO notes that rental listings cluster in the Wada area northwest of the station, neighboring Honcho, and Yayoicho on the south side. <a href=\"https:\/\/suumo.jp\/chintai\/tokyo\/ek_27380\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SUUMO<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a wider view of the ward, read our <a href=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/nakano-city\/\">Nakano City guide<\/a>. This article zooms in on one quieter corner of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Nakano-Fujimicho-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Nakano-Fujimicho-1.webp 800w, https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Nakano-Fujimicho-1-300x150.webp 300w, https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Nakano-Fujimicho-1-768x384.webp 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nakano-fujimicho Station and Tokyo Metro depot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Good_Is_the_Train_Access_from_Nakano-Fujimicho\"><\/span>How Good Is the Train Access from Nakano-Fujimicho?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Access is better than most people expect from a branch-line station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The station is served by the 3.2 km Honancho branch of the Marunouchi Line, running from Nakano-sakaue to Honancho. The branch leaves the main Marunouchi Line at Nakano-sakaue, where you can also transfer to the Toei Oedo Line. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nakano-fujimich%C5%8D_Station\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wikipedia<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marunouchi_line\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">  Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real advantage is the depot next door. During the day, short 3-car trains shuttle along the branch. At morning and evening peaks, some 6-car trains start and terminate at Nakano-fujimicho because it sits beside the line&#8217;s maintenance depot, and these run through to Ikebukuro. Local reviewers point out that many morning trains begin here, so you can often get a seat into central Tokyo. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nakano-fujimich%C5%8D_Station\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wikipedia<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.correc.co.jp\/hikkoshi-best\/nakanofujimicho-sumiyasusa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Correc<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typical travel times from Nakano-Fujimicho:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Destination<\/th><th>Approx.

Seated starts help, but the line still fills up before Shinjuku. <a href=\"https:\/\/ieagent.jp\/blog\/eria\/nakanohujimityosumiyasusa-46292\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IE Agent<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Is_Rent_in_Nakano-Fujimicho_in_2026\"><\/span>How Much Is Rent in Nakano-Fujimicho in 2026?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rent in Nakano-Fujimicho is moderate for a location this close to Shinjuku. Older and smaller units pull the average down. New builds near the station cost much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Floor Plan<\/th><th>Typical Rent Range<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Studio (1R)<\/td><td>\u00a570,000\u201380,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1DK<\/td><td>\u00a590,000\u2013100,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2LDK<\/td><td>\u00a5150,000\u2013160,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3LDK<\/td><td>\u00a5200,000\u2013210,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>New build, 1R to 3LDK (within 5 min walk)<\/td><td>\u00a5109,000\u2013335,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LIFULL HOME&#8217;S puts studios at around \u00a570,000\u201380,000, 1DK units at around \u00a590,000\u2013100,000, 2LDK units at around \u00a5150,000\u2013160,000 and 3LDK units at around \u00a5200,000\u2013210,000. For new builds within a 5-minute walk, SUUMO estimates a range from about \u00a5109,000 for a studio up to \u00a5335,000 for a 3LDK. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homes.co.jp\/chintai\/tokyo\/nakanofujimicho_06334-st\/list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LIFULL HOME&#8217;S<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/suumo.jp\/chintai\/soba\/tokyo\/ek_27380\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SUUMO<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What does the stock look like? Most listings are single-person layouts such as 1R, 1K, 1DK and 1LDK. The \u00a570,000\u2013100,000 bracket has the most options. Most buildings are within a 10-minute walk of the station, and ages range from brand new to around 50 years, with 5 to 20 years being most common. <a href=\"https:\/\/suumo.jp\/chintai\/tokyo\/ek_27380\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SUUMO<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A useful comparison: our Nakano City guide lists studios near the ward&#8217;s main station at \u00a590,000\u2013130,000.

If you work from home, a 5 to 20 year old reinforced concrete mansion is usually the better value here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Daily_Life_Like_Around_Nakano-Fujimicho\"><\/span>What Is Daily Life Like Around Nakano-Fujimicho?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shopping_and_supermarkets\"><\/span>Shopping and supermarkets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the area&#8217;s main weakness. One local review summed it up as a safe town where shopping is a little inconvenient, with few commercial facilities near the station. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.correc.co.jp\/hikkoshi-best\/nakanofujimicho-sumiyasusa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Correc<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, you will not go without groceries. Several supermarkets and drugstores are scattered around, including Ozeki, Gyomu Super and Maruetsu Petit. Some supermarkets close relatively early, which can be a hassle if you come home late. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.athome.co.jp\/town-library\/tokyo\/nakanofujimicho-st\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">At Home<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ieagent.jp\/blog\/eria\/nakanohujimityosumiyasusa-46292\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IE Agent<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you need a bigger shopping street, walk or ride one stop to Honancho. Honancho Station leads to Honan Ginza Shotengai, a retro shopping street with annual events. For department stores, Shinjuku is only minutes away. <a href=\"https:\/\/metropolisjapan.com\/tokyo-metro-marunouchi-line\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Metropolis Japan<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Food_and_cafes\"><\/span>Food and cafes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dining scene is small and local rather than trendy. Chain spots like Matsuya and a horumon grill are part of the local mix. A local favorite for breakfast is Boulangerie Lebois, a French bakery near the station. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homes.co.jp\/chintai\/theme\/14124\/tokyo\/nakanofujimicho_06334-st\/list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LIFULL HOME&#8217;S<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/metropolisjapan.com\/tokyo-metro-marunouchi-line\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Metropolis Japan<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Parks_rivers_and_green_space\"><\/span>Parks, rivers and green space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nakano-Fujimicho feels greener than its central neighbors. The Kanda River runs alongside the line, close to where it meets the Zenpukuji River, and parks such as Hongo Fureai Park are scattered through the quiet streets. A riverside path along the Zenpukuji River offers space for walks. <a href=\"https:\/\/relife-search.com\/town\/tokyo\/st_nakanofujimichoeki\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Relife-search<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/nakano-mansionclub.com\/nakanofujimichoeki-sumiyasusa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nakano-mansionclub<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Public_facilities\"><\/span>Public facilities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The area has a ward community center, a library, and the Southern Sports Community Plaza with a gym and indoor pool. These are affordable options for residents, and ward facilities usually charge only a small per-visit fee. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.athome.co.jp\/town-library\/tokyo\/nakanofujimicho-st\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">At Home<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Temples_shrines_and_local_character\"><\/span>Temples, shrines and local character<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The station is a short walk from the twin temples of Teonji and Ryuhoji. Shinmei Hikawa Shrine, about 10 minutes away, is the local guardian shrine for Yayoicho and Minamidai, and it fills with residents for New Year visits, Setsubun and the autumn festival. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.japantravel.com\/guide\/the-tokyo-metro-marunouchi-line\/60951\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JapanTravel<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/rent.re-ism.co.jp\/mag\/machi\/nakanofujimicho\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Re-ism<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will also notice the large Metro depot. The Nakano rail depot lies south of the station, and near it you can see the Marunouchi Line trains come up above ground. Train fans enjoy it.
