Den-en-chà Âfu was built based on the "Garden City" idea originally developed by the British city planner Ebenezer Howard.
Den-en-chà Âfu was planned as a garden suburb of Tokyo.

Although the area was developing at an adequate pace, it was the Great Kantà  Earthquake of 1923 that guaranteed his success. Central Tokyo was leveled in the earthquake, but Den-en-chà Âfu was virtually untouched; in the aftermath, there was an exodus of people from the central city to the suburbs.
Den-en-chà Âfu is one of Tokyo's most famous and exclusive neighborhoods, where many business executives and celebrities reside. The residences are very expensive and fairly large by Tokyo standards, and the district is often compared to Beverly Hills, Los Angeles. Being 10 km away from the city center, the area is home to several natural parks. Den-en-chà Âfu has its own regulations for construction, in order to preserve the area's small-town atmosphere.
Den-en-chà Âfu's success has influenced neighboring areas along Tà Âkyà « railway lines in western Meguro, including the Yakumo, Kakinokizaka, Nakane, Okusawa and Jiyà «gaoka neighbourhoods.
