Akiruno

Akiruno straddles the Akigawa River in western Tokyo, and the valleys leading toward the Okutama Mountains have shaped it as a transition between metropolitan suburbs and wooded uplands. Formed in 1995 through the merger of Akigawa and Itsukaichi, the city combines residential neighbourhoods, farmland and the older Itsukaichi district. The Akigawa, a tributary of the Tama River, is central to local summer recreation, while Tokyo Summerland is a familiar family-leisure landmark. Rail and road connections keep central Tokyo within reach without erasing Akiruno’s distinct western-Tokyo character.
