Toneri is a district in Adachi Ward, Tokyo Metropolis, Japan. Located in the northern part of the ward, it is a primarily residential area developed during Tokyo’s suburban expansion in the late 20th century. The district’s name is closely associated with Toneri Park, a central public space that anchors the community and provides a countryside-like feel within the city.

Toneri Park, or Toneri-kōen, is a large urban park surrounding a sizeable pond. The grounds offer walking and jogging paths, cherry blossoms in spring, and recreational facilities such as tennis courts, baseball fields, and playgrounds. The park serves as a focal point for outdoor activities and family outings, and it supports various community events throughout the year.

Transportation in Toneri centers on rail and local road networks. Toneri-kōen Station on the Nippori–Toneri Liner provides rail access to surrounding neighborhoods and connects residents with central Tokyo areas. In addition, a network of buses and major streets links Toneri to neighboring districts within Adachi Ward and to other parts of Tokyo.

Demographically, Toneri is characterized by residential housing, including apartment complexes and local amenities that support daily life, such as schools, clinics, and shopping streets. The area emphasizes a balance of green space and urban living, making it a popular choice for families and long-term residents seeking a quieter neighborhood within reach of the city center.
