Hino

Hino combines the quieter rhythm of a riverbank city with the everyday connections of metropolitan Tokyo in a way that reflects its position on the Tama River in western Tokyo. Its neighbourhoods lie beyond the capital’s dense central wards, while rail links keep the city closely tied to Tokyo’s urban network. Hino-juku developed as a post town on the Kōshū Kaidō, an Edo-period route leading west from Edo, and its surviving honjin recalls the travellers and official processions that once passed through. Hino is also associated with Hijikata Toshizō, a leading figure of the Shinsengumi, who was born here. Takahata Fudōson temple is another enduring local landmark.
