Soshigaya is a residential neighborhood in Setagaya Ward to the north of Soshigaya-Okura Station on the Odakyu Line.
The neighborhood is known for the “Ultraman Shopping Street” that extends north from the Station. Along the shopping street are discount supermarkets, 100 yen shops, cafes, bars and restaurants.
