Ōizumigakuenchō


Ōizumigakuenchō is a district of Nerima, Tokyo, Japan. It is located around 1.5 kilometers north of Ōizumi-gakuen Station of Seibu Railway Seibu Ikebukuro Line and consists of nine chōme.
The district is colloquially simply called Ōizumigakuen. However, the simplified term is often used to refer to the greater Ōizumi area also encompassing Ōizumimachi, Nishiōizumi, Nishiōizumimachi, Higashiōizumi and Minamiōizumi.
Historically, the main industry of the Ōizumi area was agriculture. But after the establishment of Higashi Ōizumi Station in 1924, its surrounding area saw a great development as a commercial neighborhood and, consequently, Ōizumigakuenchō grew to be a quiet residential neighborhood for a number of upper-income earners.
