Futakotamagawa Station is served by the Tokyu Den-en-toshi and Oimachi Lines; the express reaches Shibuya in about 11 minutes, and through-service from the Den-en-toshi Line onto the Hanzomon Line means no transfer toward Otemachi. ”Futako Tamagawa Rise” and ”Tamagawa Takashimaya Shopping Center” connect directly to the station, and with Tsutaya Electrics and supermarkets carrying imported foods, everything from daily shopping to a weekend outing can be done right by the station. Rakuten Group has its headquarters here, and the many foreign residents give the area an international feel. Beside the station the wide banks of the Tama River and Futako Tamagawa Park open out, busy with joggers and picnickers. It suits families who want both access to central Tokyo and a natural setting. The station area is designed around pedestrians and is easy to navigate with a stroller, with childcare support facilities and English-speaking clinics nearby.
