Shakujiidai (石神井台) is a neighborhood in Nerima Ward, Tokyo. The current administrative names go from Shakujiidai 1st Street to Shakujiidai 8th Street. The residential address system has been implemented.

Geography

It is located in the southwestern part of Nerima Ward. The neighborhood borders Higashi-Ōizumi to the north, Shakujiimachi to the east across Igusa Street, Kami-Shakujii to the south across the Shakujii River, and Sekimachi-Kita to the west.

There are no train stations, but Musashi-Seki Station and Shakujii Station on the Seibu Shinjuku Line, and Ōizumi-gakuen Station and Shakujii-kōen Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line are accessible.

History

Formerly it was formed by the Daimon, Numabe, Nishimura, and Koseki areas of Kami-Shakujii Village, Toshima District, Musashi Province.

On July 1, 1970, the residential address system was implemented, and almost all of the former Kami-Shakujii 2nd Street and part of Shimo-Shakujii 2nd Street (around Sanbōji Pond) were combined to form the Shakujiidai neighborhood. Part of the former Kami-Shakujii 2nd Street became part of the Sekimachi-Kita neighborhood in 1978.
