Most livable neighborhoods in Tokyo: Top 20
We scored every chōme-level neighborhood in Tokyo on four measures: safety (police open data), convenience, childcare and quiet. The ranking uses their average, so it favours places that hold up across all four rather than peak at one. The top 20 cluster in Machida-shi (4) and Bunkyo-ku (3).
