No.3 Denen chofu / 田園調布
Den-en-chōfu was built based on the "Garden City" idea originally developed by the British city planner Ebenezer Howard.[1] It is one of the most famous and top-class residential towns where many executives have their dwellings.[citation needed] Being 10 km away from the center of Tokyo, the area contains natural parks. The area has its own regulations for construction[citation needed] in order to preserve the town feel to the area. The residences are fairly big compared to normal housing in other areas in Japan, and the district is often compared to Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, U.S.A.[citation needed]

Den-en-chofu station
Den-en-chōfu was planned as a garden suburb of Tokyo. In the early 1900s, financier Eiichi Shibusawa bought, named and developed the area by emulating the garden suburbs that were growing in metropolitan areas around the world, particularly those in Greater London.[2]
Although the area was developing at an adequate pace, it was the Great Kantō Earthquake of 1923 that guaranteed his success. Central Tokyo was leveled in the earthquake, but Den-en-chōfu was virtually untouched;[citation needed] in the aftermath, the exodus of people from the central city to the less crowded, cleaner suburbs ensured that the Den-en-chōfu would prosper.
