What kind of town is Kojiya?

Although Kojiya is located in a place with easy access to Haneda Airport and the Shinagawa area, you can still find old-fashioned shopping streets and a nostalgic downtown atmosphere wafting from in front of the station.

The size of the town is another attraction.
Supermarkets, drugstores, and medical facilities are all within walking distance from the station, and the sense of security of having everything you need close at hand supports the ease of living in this town.

The atmosphere of the city is very laid-back despite its proximity to the city center.
Coming from a rural area, I felt a strange sense of security as if I had returned to my hometown.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Kojiya is a town where you can relax and feel the warmth of the people.

The "Kojiya area map" summarizes spots that are convenient for your daily life.

One of the most pleasant things about living in Kojiya is that all the facilities you need for your daily life are within walking distance.

In this interview, we created an original map that summarizes supermarkets, medical facilities, restaurants, and so on, centering on Neighbors Haneda.
As you can see from the map, Kojiya is well-stocked with supermarkets and grocery stores.

From around the station to near the properties, there are more than 10 stores scattered all over the area, making it hard to decide where to shop.

When we asked locals for their recommendations during the course of our interview, they all mentioned a grocery store called "Yaochou. This popular store is known for selling slightly damaged fruits and vegetables that cannot be sold in supermarkets at unbeatable prices.
If the residents cook together using the vegetables purchased here, they can save money!

Another store you can't miss in Kojiya is the fresh fish specialty store "Uoetsu.
I was impressed by the sight of customers already lined up before the store opened, and as soon as the shutters went up, they were being sucked into the store one after another.

Not only the standard fish, but also rare seafood and assorted sashimi, all of which looked so delicious that all the staff said, "I want to buy some to take home! and "I want to buy some to take home!
The proximity to the Ota Market makes it easy to get fresh seafood, which is another attraction of Kojiya.

The shopping mall is also well-stocked with drugstores and daily necessities stores, so you don't have to worry about "I need to buy some more" or "I've run out of detergent.
There's also a Daiso Kojiya store in front of the station, where you can easily purchase daily necessities and kitchen goods.

When you hold a party in the shared lounge of Neighbors Haneda, you'll be happy to know that you can quickly get all the supplies you need at Daiso.
In Kojiya, supermarkets, grocery stores, fish stores, drug stores, and daily necessities stores are all within walking distance, so you will never have trouble with your daily shopping.
Whether it's shopping on your way home from work or buying things in bulk on your days off, you can do it all in the neighborhood.

Stores loved by the locals that we met in the Kojiya shopping mall

The charm of Kojiya is not only the convenience of shopping.

The shopping street is lined with stores that you will want to stop by in your daily life, from stores that have long been familiar to the locals to newly opened cafes.
Here are five of them that I visited on my own walking tour.

Tomoyu (8-minute walk from 📍 Kojiya Station)

Tomoyu" is a machinaka that has been loved by people in Kojiya for a long time. It is a popular restaurant that always comes up when we ask locals for their recommendation.
This time, three of our staff members visited the restaurant and ordered soy sauce ramen, gyoza, stir-fried vegetables, and fried rice.

All the dishes were lightly seasoned, and we easily finished them while sharing. The most impressive dish was the "homemade fried rice with pickled Chinese cabbage," which is only available during the winter season.
The savory rice is mixed with just the right amount of sour and tasty Chinese cabbage, creating a simple yet addictive taste.

The fact that the restaurant is well-loved by the local community is evident from the number of regulars who visit one after the other.

Mimolette (6-minute walk from 📍 Kojiya Station)

Mimolette is a popular local bakery in the middle of the Kojiya shopping mall. On the day of our visit, the shopping street was filled with the aroma of freshly baked, savory bread from the morning.
While the store is lined with a variety of breads and side dish breads, the most popular item is the deep-fried bread.

Ota-ku is said to be the "birthplace of fried bread," and this store offers the traditional taste of fried bread.

This time, we ordered three kinds of fried bread: kinako (soybean flour), sato (sweet pepper), and bobsled fried bread.
The fried bread was soft and fluffy, and I couldn't resist reaching for another one.

LYNO (1 minute walk from 📍 Kojiya Station)

LYNO, a newly opened coffee stand at the entrance of the Kojiya shopping mall, is a hot spot that just opened in November 2025, and its wood-grained exterior gives off a bright atmosphere even in the shopping mall.

I ordered a coffee and a green tea latte. The aromatic deep-roasted coffee had a pleasantly clean bitter taste, and the matcha latte was mild and gently sweet.

What impressed me the most was the friendly personality of the waitress. Even though it was my first visit, I found myself chatting with them so warmly that I ended up talking with them for a long time.
I have a feeling that this will become a "new regular café" in Kojiya.

Tane Sen Kojiya (3-minute walk from Kojiya Station)

Located in a corner of the Kojiya shopping mall, "Tane Sen Kojiya" is a long-established Japanese confectionery shop that has long been familiar to local people. Seasonal Japanese sweets and dumplings are beautifully lined up in the calm storefront.

For our interview, we bought some Mitarashi dumplings. The mochi (glutinous rice cake) texture was excellent, and the sweet and sour sauce was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The dumplings are perfect for eating and walking, and are also a good place to stop by when you need a break.

Umaichi butcher store (3-minute walk from 📍糀谷 Station)

Umaichi butcher store has been a longtime favorite in the shopping arcade. In the evening, you'll see crowds of people in front of the store. Walking along the Kojiya shopping street, I was lured by the savory smell of fried food and ended up stopping in my tracks. In addition to selling fresh meat, the prepared food corner in the storefront is just as popular. In the evening, many people line up for freshly fried croquettes.

The famous croquettes have a crispy batter and a crunchy interior. The tender sweetness of the potatoes and the delicious flavor of the minced meat add a taste that you will never get tired of. Many locals were seen eating the croquettes on the spot or taking them home to have as a side dish for dinner.

Conclusion

After actually walking around, I felt that Kojiya is not only a "convenient town," but also a "town where people are close to each other. The greetings exchanged in the shopping district and the lively voices of the delicatessens.
I felt that this town with such a warm atmosphere is very compatible with the social apartment lifestyle, which places importance on human connections.

Sharing seasonal produce from the grocery store in the lounge, or heading home from work with housemates with croquettes in hand.

Access to the city center, the warmth of downtown, and new encounters. Why don't you start a new life of your own in a place where you can have it all?
Please check out the latest information on the opening in March 2026!
