Ogikubo is commonly referred to as the birthplace of Tokyoramen. More specifically, Ogikubo ramen is known for ramen cooked with fish bones instead of pork bones. Exiting from the North side of the station (Kitaguchi) and heading towards the Amanuma neighborhood one comes across many of the famous Ogikubo-ramen-tens. Two busy main roads, Kanpachi-dori and Ōme-kaido, run through Ogikubo and cross at four corners called Shimendō (四面道) which is actually where Kamiogi Ichome (上荻一丁目), Kamiogi Nichōme (上荻二丁目), Shimizu Ichōme (清水一丁目), Momoi Ichōme (桃井一丁目) come together. This is to the northwest of Ogikubo and Ogikubo Station.

"Ogi" (荻) is the name of a kind of reed in Japanese, and "kubo" (窪) means "hollow".
