Kanamachi, Residential district in Katsushika, Tokyo, Japan.

Kanamachi extends across both sides of the JR Joban Line railway tracks, with a commercial center near the station and residential areas spreading outward.

The development of Kanamachi neighborhood gained momentum after the establishment of the railway station in 1896, transforming it from agricultural land into an urban area.

The Tokyo University of Science Katsushika Campus, opened in 2013, brings academic vitality to the area through its engineering and technology research facilities.

The neighborhood connects to central Tokyo via the JR Joban Line and Keisei Kanamachi Line, with trains departing from Kanamachi Station every few minutes.

Three elementary schools divide the educational zones of Kanamachi: Shibahara serves the northern section, Kanamachi covers the central area, and Suehiro manages the southern portion.
