Dokoeki Finds a Place to Live by Counting What Is Nearby
A Japanese station-search tool that ranks neighbourhoods by the everyday facilities within 800 metres, rather than by property listings.
Field notes
Dokoeki turns station comparison into a facility-counting exercise: users can filter by prefecture, railway line, or station name and inspect the services found within an 800-metre radius. Its result cards combine railway coverage with counts for supermarkets, convenience stores, schools, hospitals, parks, post offices, police stations, and fire stations. Preset searches include cooking-and-remote-work, school-within-walking-distance, and general living-base patterns. The page explicitly separates this task from property search by stating that it does not publish listings.
