Ōizumi-Gakuenchō

Ōizumi-Gakuenchō (大泉学園町, Ōizumi-gakuen-chō) is a neighborhood of Nerima Ward, 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 or Streets. Its total area is 3.211 km².^[1]

The neighborhood is colloquially simply called Ōizumi-gakuen. However, the simplified term is often used to refer to the area around Ōizumi-gakuen Station, which is located in the Higashi-Ōizumi neighborhood.

History

Historically, the main industry of the Ōizumi-Gakuenchō area was agriculture, but after the establishment of Higashi-Ōizumi Station (now Ōizumi-gakuen Station) in 1924, its surrounding area saw a great development as a commercial neighborhood and, consequently, Ōizumi-Gakuenchō grew to be a quiet residential neighborhood for a number of upper-income earners.
