Miyogadani

Located two stops from the large centre of Ikebukuro, Myogadani Station is in a central location but serves the mainly residential area of Koishikawa and is seldom busy except at rush hour.
Surrounding the station is a small commercial area with a few shops, supermarkets, izakayas and restaurants.

It is close to several of Tokyo's universities, including Ochanomizu University and University of Tsukuba. It is also close to the Koishikawa Botanical Garden, which is affiliated with the University of Tokyo.

The residential area just to the north of Kasuga-dori Avenue, on which the station is situated, is laden with parks and green belts, which is rare for such a central neighborhood.
