Hayamiya 早宮 Hayamiya district
Nerima, Hayamiya 一丁目 - 四丁目 first to fourth sub-district



Along the river 石神井川 Shakujiigawa at its border,
there are now many cherry trees planted in honor of the birth of the present Emperor of Japan.

The name is a connection of two words
早 from 早淵 Hayabuchi (a very old name of this area)
宮 from 宮ヶ谷戸 Miyagayato


The district used to be a part of 仲町 Nakamachi (Nakacho).

In 1965 the name was introduced after a vote of the inhabitants.

Hikarigaoka 光が丘 / 光ヶ丘 Hikarigaoka district - "shining hill"
Nerima, Hikarigaoka, 一丁目 - 七丁目 first to seventh sub-district



This is also part of the former Japanese army grounds, with a factory for making war planes.
In 1969 the American army left the area and it was called a district of 緑と太陽 "greenery and sunshine", later changed to Hikarigaoka.
Now it is basically a residential area.

- quote -
This former military housing complex and airfield in northern Tokyo is now a sprawling park full of wide-open spaces and tree-lined paths. Spend time among the 17,000 trees and thousands of blooming plants. If you drop by during spring, its 1,000 cherry trees and spacious fields make it a great place for cherry blossom picnic parties and its paths are perfect for admiring the brilliant fall colors.
There is also a library.
Other facilities include fields for various sports, a daytime camping field, a barbecue area, a bird sanctuary, an archery range, a pond, a swimming pool, tennis courts, and play areas for kids.
