Surrounding area

The east side of Futako Tamagawa is currently undergoing redevelopment. There are plans for three sectors; sector one will be centered around a station building, sector two will be a high-rise commercial and hotel district, and sector three will consist of similarly high-rise apartments, the tallest of which will be 151 metres high. There are also plans to improve road access to the capital. Redevelopment has already changed the area - the station was revamped in 1997, and a 27-storey apartment building, the aptly named "Proud Tower Futako Tamagawa", became news for having rooms surpassing the 2 hundred million yen (1,700,000 USD) mark.

The Tamagawa Takashimaya (玉川高島屋 ?) Shopping Center is a branch of the Takashimaya department store chain. It opened as Japan's first suburban shopping centre in 1969, and kick-started the development of similar stores around Japan.
