This is a pioneering commercial and residential complex that opened in Japan in 1966. It has become known as a "subculture mecca" due to the accumulation of stores run by enthusiasts, including the manga-specializing second-hand bookstore "Mandarake," and one of its charms is its uniqueness, which has been achieved through symbiosis with local stores since it first opened. In recent years, many watch stores have opened that sell luxury brand watches, antique and vintage watches, etc., and the third floor has also attracted attention as a "watch mecca," with the number of new types of stores increasing, making it increasingly chaotic.

A temple of the Myoshinji school of the Rinzai sect. There is a stone statue of a monkey in front of the gate, so it is commonly known as "Saru-dera". The origin of the name comes from the fact that when the temple was located in Kagurazaka, a small monkey tried to stop a priest who was about to board a ferry, but the boat sank right in front of his eyes, and the priest escaped the disaster thanks to the small monkey. It is the second temple of the Yamanote Thirty-three Kannon Temples and the 19th temple of the Tokyo Thirty-three Kannon Temples.

A temple of the Shingon sect of Buddhism, founded in the 16th century and affectionately known as Oyakushi-sama.

A festival is held on the 8th of every month, and the temple is very lively. It is the 71st temple in the capital.

There is also a statue of a cow, "Nadeushi," which is said to be the messenger of Sugawara no Michizane, and it is said that stroking it will bring good luck in recovery from illness, academic achievement, and other wishes.

This park was opened on the site of the former Nakano Prison in Tokyo. Since 1980, it has been gradually developed as a disaster prevention park along with an underground sewage treatment plant, and after redevelopment work began in 2017, it reopened on April 1, 2020. It has a multi-purpose exercise field, a small multi-purpose field, a water play area, a grass field, a barbecue site, a jogging/walking course, a waterfront field, a dog field, a flower garden, and a playground.

This shrine enshrines Susanoo-no-Mikoto, who defeated the Yamata-no-Orochi (Eight-headed Serpent). It is the main guardian deity of the former village of Nogata.

Within the shrine grounds are the sacred tree "Three Wishing Pine Trees" and the "Child-raising Guardian Dogs" that are said to grant safe childbirth if you stroke them three times.

It was originally founded in the late Sengoku period within Odawara Castle, with the Hojo clan's personal Buddha as the principal image. It is a temple of the Omuro school of Shingon Buddhism. It was moved to Edo Ya no Kura in 1611, and to Senso-jicho in 1644. During the Taisho and Showa periods, it was burned down twice, once in the Great Kanto Earthquake and once during the war.

Tetsugakudo Park is a philosophy-themed park founded in 1904 by Enryo Inoue, the founder of Toyo. It was designated as a Tokyo Place of Scenic Beauty in 2009 and a national place of scenic beauty in March 2020.
Jiku-Oka Hill in the park is home to a group of uniquely designed ancient buildings designated as tangible cultural properties of Nakano Ward, including the Four Holy Halls, which enshrines Buddha, Taishi, Socrates, and Kant, as well as the Rokukendai, which enshrines six wise men from the Toyo, including Prince Shotoku and Sugawara no Michizane, and Nakano Ward Castle, which was used as a library at the time.

The population of the Yamanote area has increased rapidly since the Taisho era. As a result, the construction of a waterworks became an urgent necessity, and the Aratama Waterworks was built. This was to draw water from the Tamagawa River at Kinuta in Setagaya Ward to supply water to Nakano, Suginami, Toshima, Itabashi, Nerima, and Kita Wards. The former Nogata Water Tower was built in 1929 to distribute water to these areas. The cylindrical tower is about 34 meters high and 18 meters in diameter and can store about 2,000 tons of water. Water was distributed to each household by storing water in the tower and letting it fall naturally due to water pressure. It has now completed its role and is an important landmark of the area and a relic that shows the process of the urbanization of Tokyo. In 2010, it was registered as a national tangible cultural property.

This new park was opened on April 1, 2007 (Heisei 19) after the former Kita-Ekoda Park was renamed. It is a disaster prevention park in the northern part of Nakano Ward that makes use of the rich existing forest on the former site of the National Sanatorium Nakano Hospital and harmonizes with the health and welfare facilities. This area is also a historic site, where American dogwoods were sent to America in 1912 as a gift of cherry blossoms (on the Potomac River in Washington) from Japan and planted in the Nogata Nursery, which was once located here. They were grown as seedlings and planted as roadside trees at the time. The park has a lawn square, a multi-purpose square, a pond (biotope), and more. It was certified as a Nakano Ward certified tourist resource in February 2014 (Heisei 26).
