Around Yukigaya-Otsuka Station (雪が谷大塚駅) in Ota Ward, Tokyo, five walking spots are gathered, from a wine bar and a gallery to a park, a restaurant and a 1957 public bathhouse. From Yukigaya-Otsuka Station on the Tokyu Ikegami Line, the wine bar is a 3-minute walk, the gallery and the park are each 8 minutes on foot, and the restaurant is a 9-minute walk, all scattered through quiet residential streets. Add the bathhouse, a 14-minute walk from Ontakesan Station (御嶽山駅), and the route becomes a half-day walk linking two stations on the line.
This guide covers 5 walking spots; 5 of them are an average 8-minute walk from the nearest station (3–14 min).

From Yukigaya-Otsuka Station, head to Gallery Toyokan (an 8-minute walk), then Den-en-chofu 1-chome East Park (8 minutes on foot) and Chimikaku (a 9-minute walk) on the Den-en-chofu side. Then double back for Myojin-yu, which opens at 16:00 and is a 14-minute walk from Ontakesan Station, and finish at Ogosso, a 3-minute walk from the station.
A gallery near Yukigaya-Otsuka Station on the Tokyu Ikegami Line, an 8-minute walk away. Stations on the Ikegami Line sit close together, so the surrounding townscape is the kind you can cover slowly on foot. It is a good place to stop in the middle of shopping or a walk and spend some time looking at the works on display in a quiet space.
A small open space in the residential streets of Den-en-chofu 1-chome, an 8-minute walk from Yukigaya-Otsuka Station. As the name says, it sits on the eastern side of the district, and it is used as an everyday playground and a place to rest. It also suits sitting down to check a map partway through a walk across Den-en-chofu.
A restaurant in the streets of 1-41-3 Den-en-chofu, Ota Ward, a 9-minute walk from Yukigaya-Otsuka Station. Den-en-chofu is a residential district developed by the Den-en Toshi Company at the end of the Taisho era, and the radial streets on the west side of the station still remain. It makes a natural stop in a walk along those calm roads lined with trees and hedges.
A public bathhouse whose 1957 building remains as it was. Its gabled karahafu roof and painted mural are cherished as a legacy of the neighbourhood. The nearest station is Ontakesan Station, a 14-minute walk away, and it is open 16:00–22:00 every day. It closes on the 5th, 15th and 25th of each month (the following day when those fall on a Sunday or public holiday), plus one or two irregular days a month.
A wine bar in the residential streets at 2-9-16 Minami-Yukigaya, Ota Ward, a 3-minute walk from Yukigaya-Otsuka Station. It is an easy place to drop into briefly, which makes it a fitting end to a walk. It is closed on Tuesdays, and its opening hours are announced on Instagram (@ogosso.yukigaya).
One closing tip. Myojin-yu sets the clock for this walk. Build the day around its 16:00–22:00 hours — gallery and park in the afternoon, the bathhouse in the early evening, then Ogosso — and all five spots fit into one day. If your visit falls on the 5th, 15th or 25th, check before setting out, as the bathhouse is closed.
